I'm a big fan of muddy experiences. They become our greatest teachers when we're wise enough to exfoliate with them; roll around in the deep until we finally feel ready to get clean.
Today, identify something muddy that kept recurring for you throughout 2013, and then ask yourself this: What's the clear truth underneath this damn mud if I finally wash myself clean?
I often am hard on myself, you know - I should have....... This is most relevant at work and with my parenting. The two things I don't want to get wrong. When I do take a minute to clean off the mud the clear truth underneath when I am all clean is I am a human. We do make mistakes sometimes but the most important thing is that my intentions are always good. I can sleep at night knowing I mean no harm to anyone and I try my best.
I totally hear you, Mel.
ReplyDeleteIt's so easy to give ourselves grief for not being perfect... and yet if we look into our hearts, we see that they're made of gold. xx
