We are all a work in progress.

 

None of us are close to reaching that mythical ‘perfect’ status.

 

Under the microscope, we all have skeletons in closets we may never wish to come out.  We have all made mistakes.  We will all make mistakes in future.  We all have our scars.

 

None of us can really consider ourselves fully evolved.  Not even close.  There will always be space for improving an area of our lives, in some significant way.

 

Truth be told, most of us are a contradictory mix of elements that make us, us.  Being human isn’t always a linear experience.

 

Being human isn’t always simple, tidy or pretty.  Being human involves trying to adapt to the ups, the downs, the challenges, the heartache, the struggles, the loss.

 

So, what to do?

 

We can do our best to put one foot in front of the other and make progress forward. Trying to learn lessons from past, but focusing on the now. Focusing on developing our future selves. Focusing on supporting our future self. Focusing on being us.

 

We can celebrate our successes, large and small.

 

We can be grateful for all we have.

 

We can live a life of contribution, finding small ways to be of service to the world around us, in our own unique way.

 

We can invest in our own development so we have the necessary internal tools to support us live our best lives.  We can adopt practices that support us living this type of life.

 

We can love and live the best way we know how.

 

We can try to make peace with the fact that to struggle is to be human.
