Perfectionism. These day this topic is more prevalent that ever. Even those that are at peace with themselves may struggle when it comes to our new AI comparisons! As well as your insta perfect, “living-it-up” airbrushed & photoshopped influencers, we now have the likes of artificial intelligence to contend with – so not even real-life beings – but a computer generated image! This really worries me; it’s making young girls believe that they need to be ‘perfect’ to be loved.
But why do we feel the need to be or look perfect? I believe it’s because we feel that we will not be accepted, and therefore not loved if we are not up to a certain standard. In these more recent years, the competition is more rife than ever. We are fed this illusion that beauty, fame and money are the meaning of success. In reality, the chase towards these things is an uphill battle, and if/when we finally get there? Then what? You may have beauty and money but do you have love? As in true, authentic love? Are you fulfilled?
Maybe you do have all of those things, and you do feel at peace and fulfilled. If this is you then that’s amazing; I am happy for you. But for those who still feel unfulfilled and in lack, I invite you to pull yourself out from the rat race. Enter your own competition of you vs YOU. Stay in your own lane. Learn to love yourself for who you are. You were made already perfect.
Comparing yourself to another does not help you. We need to remember that we are fully whole and worthy just the way we are. Realise the sovereignty that lies within you. Claim it, and the world is yours 🖤
