Just as I am

Like many people on this planet, I'm bombarded by information, messages, emails, and other encroachments on my attention. Much of these seek to convince me that I can be better - better dressed, better educated, more sociable or more spiritual. In other words, brochures, emails, ads, and other "communications" are telling me I am not enough.

And that is true, if enough is a euphemism for perfect. I'll never be perfect in the way that these notes from strangers tell me. So I don't need to pay attention to them.

In this moment, sitting on the floor writing this post, I'm perfect just as I am. This doesn't mean I'm stepping away from my spiritual journey (I'm enjoying it). I'll continue to exercise (it makes me feel good). And I sing, worship, talk and dance with others because these connections lift my spirits.

I'm no longer giving credence to disembodied voices trying to convince me that they have the answers to my life's questions. Instead, I'm accepting that I don't need their suggestions - or products. I am perfect just as I am.
