Imperfection is our natural condition. We must recognize our failures with kindness and grace, acknowledging mistakes and shortcomings with loving forgiveness, if we are to engender sufficient motivation to improve mentally, spiritually, physically. We will not strive to improve if we can’t forgive, don’t love ourselves enough to make the effort. I am kind to myself when I recognize my own imperfection and, without shame or regret, determine not to repeat my mistakes.
