Here’s a profound thought: we humans are imperfect because we are human!

We have a lot of flaws, and those flaws often lead to failures. But our Creator made us human because He loves us that way, so why do we struggle so to love and embrace our humanness?

The Struggle to Embrace Our Humanness

Because we are human, accepting and embracing our humanness is difficult, but doing so can change the trajectory of our lives forever.

If inconsistent executive functioning skills hamper your ability to experience consistent success in life, it can be especially hard to love ourselves flaws and all.

I know you’re thinking, “You just need to toughen up and try harder!” 

Society tells us things like, “Your life must be perfect!” Instead of worrying about not showing our weaknesses, we need to worry about why we listen to an impoverished society that expects impossible things of us. We need to stop trying to obey society’s intolerable, insufferable, and unrealistic imperatives and start loving ourselves for who we are.

Accepting and Embracing Humanness

Recognizing our humanness is the first step to recognizing that it’s okay to be kind to ourselves when we are struggling. It starts by understanding our worth, accepting our needs, accepting inspiration from our fellow strugglers, and striving to inspire the next generation as outlined in these posts.
