Imperfectly Perfect: Embracing Our Humanness

By

We often strive for perfection, aiming to be right all the time. However, the truth is, we are inherently flawed. 



Our biases, traumas, and limited perspectives can sometimes lead us to form opinions that are inaccurate or even offensive. But this doesn't make us bad people. It simply makes us human.

The Beauty of Imperfection
Recognizing our imperfections is the first step towards growth. It allows us to approach situations with humility and empathy. Instead of becoming defensive when challenged, we can embrace the opportunity to learn and evolve. By acknowledging our limitations, we open ourselves up to new perspectives and ideas.

The Power of Good Intentions
While our opinions may sometimes be misguided, our intentions often remain pure. We strive to do what we believe is right, to help others, and to make a positive impact on the world. It's important to remember that good intentions can sometimes lead to unintended consequences. But as long as we approach situations with sincerity and a desire to learn, we can mitigate the harm and grow from our mistakes.

The Journey of Self-Improvement
True greatness lies not in perfection, but in the constant pursuit of improvement. By actively seeking knowledge, challenging our beliefs, and practicing self-reflection, we can become better versions of ourselves. It's a lifelong journey that requires patience, perseverance, and a willingness to embrace discomfort.

A Call to Compassion
In a world that often values certainty and correctness, it's crucial to cultivate compassion for ourselves and others. We should extend grace to those who make mistakes, recognizing that everyone is doing their best with the knowledge and tools they have. By fostering a culture of understanding and forgiveness, we can create a more harmonious and accepting society.
So, let's embrace our humanness. Let's acknowledge our flaws, learn from our mistakes, and strive to be better. By doing so, we can create a world that is more compassionate, understanding, and ultimately, more just.


Yours Sincerely,

Reclaiming the Divine Feminine: A Path to Wealth, Harmony and Child Well-being

In our modern world, often dominated by patriarchal structures and masculine energy, we've strayed from a balance that once existed. It's time to rediscover the power of the divine feminine, not just for women, but for all of humanity. By embracing matrilineal and egalitarian principles, we can create a more prosperous, harmonious, and child-centered society. The Divine Feminine: More Than Just a Gender Role The divine feminine isn't merely a gender role; it's an energy, a consciousness, and a force of creation. It's associated with qualities like compassion, intuition, empathy, and nurturing. While traditionally associated with women, these qualities are essential for both genders. Why Men Need the Divine Feminine Men, too, can tap into their divine feminine side. By embracing qualities like empathy and intuition, men can foster deeper connections, improve their relationships, and become more effective leaders. A man who understands and honors the feminine within h...

Our Parents Need Therapy

 Our Parents Need Therapy The generational trauma keeps recycling, Millenials and Gen Z are not going to tolerate the bullshit, we are not going to allow the emotional, mental, environmental and economic abuse that our parents and 'grandparents suffered through. No, we are not! Many of us are seeking therapy, some not because of being in physically abusive households but our parents parenting styles are/were not as nurturing they were either authoritarian or uninvolved, let's acknowledge the truth. Some might have not been corporally punished but were not given the attention we needed as children, that is emotional neglect. What our parents kept saying was "I cloth you, buy you stuff you want, feed you and put a roof over your head - what more do you need, why are you such a problem child ( if your behaviour didn't please them or other adults around your vicinity)? Honestly that is not all that children need, those are the physical necessities they need. There is more,...

A New Era Has Began

 The Age of Aquarius - Self-actualisation The gregorian calendar new year has began, it is January and most have promised themselves a new beginning. From my observation most people are beginning the journey of self-love and self acceptance. I have been going through this journey from 2022, and honestly it is quite difficult to execute in interpersonal relations. In theory I know self-love is cultivating a sense of authenticity within your environment, practicing healthy boundaries and choosing the right decisions for self even against societal standards. In practicality it is very difficult to practice self-love. When you are honest about your feelings, it agitates other people. For example, I told my partner that I hate his mother because of the physical and verbal abuse she inflicted on me, I guess it was insensitive to say that to him because after all I am showing disdain for the person who gave birth to him, in my defense he asked for honesty, and it was too hard for him to h...
