Imperfection is Just an Easier Way of Saying I'm Perfection


Archangel Gabriel: Embracing Emotional Change
 

When you change how you feel about yourself, you are also changing your confidence and self-esteem. Many of you already understand both of these are based on emotions and feelings not on your self-image. So when you change how you feel emotionally about yourself with higher, uplifting and positive thoughts your self-esteem and confidence also rises. In order to change your emotions it is important for you to comprehend there are two different basic beliefs about the concept of self-image. There is a belief that you hold in one or more areas in your life where you feel you are not good enough. Now this could be tied into your financial status, intelligence, appearance, lack of sexual prowess…low self-image can be obvious in any area of your life. Then there is the second belief and that is your concept of success. Many find changing this belief to be contrary to logical thinking yet it is a necessary must if you are to overcome any insecurity and raise your self-esteem and confidence.

In your mind you have an image of success and where you should be in order to be happy. Your mind has this need to compare an image of perfection and how you see your self-image as it is. Unfortunately when you are busy comparing, judgments and criticisms towards your Self are born. It is when you begin comparing what is needed to be perfect where you begin to reject certain aspects of yourself being already good enough. Self-rejection creates a feeling of unworthiness to be successful, of moving forward or achieving and it greatly affects your self-esteem and confidence levels.

Take Time to Re-Discover Your True Unique Self

Adapt ~ Change ~ Evolve
 
March 14, 2014

Just about every dear soul lacks a certain amount of awareness at no fault of their own about who they are. And this lack of awareness is not about who you are on the outside, but who you are on the inside…at the core level where all your conditioning, ego and defences are.

Thankfully, each of you has the ability to adapt, to change and to evolve and that you are doing each day. You go through life playing a game with your true self, something like a hide and seek, some days you find it, other days it seems elusive. Your own behaviours have become adapted for many reasons depending on what you have been exposed to from certain situations and experiences.

Being adaptable is an important life skill. Your ability to survive and evolve depends on your ability to adapt to new situations and outcomes…to rise from your falls and to continue pushing ahead. If you look at businesses, if they aren’t able to adapt to the economy and to the supply and demand of the customers then they eventually go broke and close up shop. The same principal dear ones can be applied to your relationships. Even the simplest act of putting on warmer boots when the weather indicates a drop in temperature is your demonstration of being adaptable. As you can see dear ones, being adaptable serves you in many good and positive ways.

Learning To Love Yourself Is The Key To Improving Your Life

At any given moment, your life and your experiences reflect how you think and feel about yourself. This is true of your relationships, your health, your job, and every other aspect of your life. If your life is not outpicturing the loving relationships, the health, the job, or the prosperity, joy, and happiness you would like to experience, you can be sure that the CAUSE is based on whether or not you Love and honor yourself.
 
From the time you were born, you came to the conclusion of who you are by how the people in your life treated you, and the things that happened to you on a daily basis. With the often erroneous interpretations you made about your life through your limited consciousness, you developed a sense of identity that is based in low self-esteem, unworthiness, and failure consciousness. That distorted belief about who you are was recorded in your etheric records and your subconscious mind and has influenced every facet of your existence to this very day. No matter how hard you try to improve your life, it is impossible for you to transform your life into what you want it to be while holding those erroneous beliefs, actually lies, about yourself.

What Being a Servant of God Truly Means - You are Stars God has Sent to Earth - Heavenletter #4746

You are Stars God Has Sent to Earth
 
Heavenletter #4746
November 22, 2013

God said: 

Serve Me. Serve All. As you serve Me, you serve All. As you serve All, you serve Me.

Don’t be timid about it. Be bold about it.

Serve others, and you serve yourself.

Do not feel that you have anything to make up to others. You are not atoning. If you atone, you are atoning for yourself.

Give good service to All. This means service with a smile. You serve without being a servant. Do you see the difference?

You are one who also serves. You are a service-giver. And if you wash dishes and scrub floors, you are the best dishwasher and floorwasher you can be. If you are an accountant, you give your best to it. If you are a programmer, you give your all. You do not cut corners. You do not do the least. To serve doesn’t mean to just go through motions. It means to give because you give.

Self-Doubt is Your Ego Taking The Lead - Give Yourself the Love You Deserve

Give Yourself the Love You Deserve

Doubt has a way of creeping into your head just when you are about to step forward doing a task that requires a certain amount of effort and focus, and the words you may hear, “You can’t do it” is heard. The fear of failing what you are working hard to complete begins to eat away at your confidence and faith in your own abilities. Taunting words always seem to arrive out of nowhere, creating a lot of havoc within your mental and emotional faculties. No matter what your goal is, when these taunting words come, they get stronger and more controlling and before you know it you begin to think critically of your own efforts and potential of not completing a certain task. Beautiful Ones, you really do know you mustn’t allow these self-doubt lingering and sabotaging thoughts to bother you as much as they do. You have many barriers in place to protect yourself, yet still self-doubt is able to wiggle its way in.

Remember where your doubt comes from, it is part of the Ego, it the part that uses your fears against you, trying to control the situation and to prevent you from moving forward successfully. When self-doubt gets a good hold on you, it can be very greedy. It tackles your confidence, removes good logic and your ability to reason. Before you know it the greedy self-doubt has replaced your happiness with fear and the overwhelming feeling of insecurity.

Overcoming self-doubt can be quite a challenge. We know Beautiful Ones you try forcing self-doubt out with positive thoughts and they seem to work on the surface, but underneath self-doubt is still there lying in wait. It is a hard fight against your self-doubt and many times it leaves you weakened and you give in to its hungry pull. There is a way out, there always is. By attaining more self-knowledge and deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you, you begin to shrink self-doubt and take back the power it took from you and your confidence and faith in yourself begins to rise to healthy levels once again. Learn to use self-doubt for your own advantage.

True Love Does Not Come From Romantic Relationships, It Comes From Within

Embrace Your Own Affection and Appreciation

Above all decisions you will make in your life Beautiful Ones the most important one will be when you finally decide to commit to loving yourself and to accepting yourself just as you are. How you think of yourself does affect all relationships, affects the quality of your work, your Faith and of course your future. The more positive and loving you are towards yourself, everything else benefits. The question is Beautiful Ones, why is this so difficult for many to do?

So much of you journey thus far has been waiting for love to come to you – many are out searching and feeling empty without this sacredness that is already within you. There are many romanticized concepts regarding love, but many of them refrain from mentioning one important aspect of love and that my dears is having self-respect. Being able to respect yourself is the only definable way to develop love in your own life and with others. We know many dear souls create fantasies out of the feelings they have towards another and many times these fantasies do not fulfill their need to be loved and they end up feeling worse because of the expectations that have been added to the experience. Understand dear ones in order to be loved, it is essential to truly love and respect yourself equally as much as you do others. Make a point to consciously understand the short term and long term effects of loving yourself and this positive change will enhance your ability to love others. By taking positive loving action, you will enable positive and loving energy to enter your life stream that will help to create greater situations to occur. Have faith in the process of learning to love yourself. You have spent so long denying your true self, you have gone out of your way avoiding your own truth and that truth Beautiful Ones is that you are worthy of your own love and respect. By allowing yourself to accept your own love and respect you begin to grow beyond any previous conceived imagination. Understand dear ones, your journey is never for nothing, you have a purpose. The more you learn to love and respect yourself; your purpose becomes that much clearer. End the need to please everyone just so they like you, begin working on liking yourself and bringing that like into Love and Respect.

Don't Give Up Your Power To Others Through Your Need To Please

Be Confident With Yourself

Be truthful when you answer, are you one who tends to worry about what others think of you regardless if their opinions are based on your appearance or of how you think? Worrying about what other people think of you carries unpleasant energy that can produce equally unpleasant thoughts and negative self-talk. We witness often dear souls trying to meet strangers approval on how they dress, on how they conduct their life choices from the rumours they hear and they themselves help to create a negative cycle that attracts more harm than good until an overwhelming power from within comes forward that will end that depreciative cycle and the negative energy gets replaces for uplifting light energy.

Anytime you perceive that you are being judged, most times you truly are not. As humans, you tend to over-think and over analyze every single interaction and experience that comes into contact with you. Many times you may not be aware of this occurring because analyzing others seems to happen all on its own, you take in any flaws or imperfections that person may have on the outside without considering any goodness that may be underneath. Become a quick observer and recognize when you begin to over-think any situation. This is a self-abusive pattern and only you can end it. Purposely give yourself credit and compliments for any part of your personality that you like, and what you know is not perfect accept this as homework. How your outer appearance is viewed does not reflect your inner beauty or goodness. It’s what is on the inside that is most recognizable and memorable.

Build up your self-esteem by thinking good thoughts of yourself more often and pay attention to the smaller details. If you have become used to thinking negative, you know then this is a learned habit and as with all habits they can be changed and broken by the conscious effort of your Will in Action. Remember even the people or things that you consider to be perfect also carry imperfections. Not one person or thing is perfect, there is always a drawback or a flaw to be found, but to us and what we encourage you to see is not their imperfections but of the beauty that is there that is more than physical. Always put your best foot forward without trying to undermine or underperform yourself, accept that right now you are the best you can be. Tomorrow is another day, keep your attention to the here and now and love what you see and not what your Ego has been trying to get you to conform to.

When you worry too much about what others think, your own perception is clouded and small issues are often tightly scrutinized and even with such close up of trying to find fault, you are unable to see the good because you are expecting to see something that truly is not there. Create a new habit dear ones but looking at the big picture of your journey without the worry of what other people think. Know what you know well, since the path you are on is yours nobody else’s. Don’t allow what other people think control or hinder your development and enjoyment life has to offer you.

Make a list of what you are currently grateful for and work on this list once a day and watch it grow. When you go back later to see what you have added, you come to realize there is much in your life that is tangible and worthy of your gratitude. You have your health, family, trusted friends, intelligence, etc., through what you are able to honestly see without the viewpoint of others you will discover all that you do have and not worry about what you don’t. Appreciate dear ones all that you have achieved knowing full well there is more coming your way.

Many dear souls focus on the big things because they are what is easiest to be seen. We encourage you to find delight in the small things and see beauty thriving all around you. Beauty comes in many guises, from children playing with their pets, watching a seedling begin to stretch skyward, the sun streaming through the trees on an early winter morn, the examples are endless but we are positive you understand beauty is with you each and every day and none of it has to do with pretty clothes, styled hair, make up, or forced conformity. The eagle that soars above in the sky has no worry or care if you think it’s beautiful, it does not worry that it’s beautiful, it simply flies, it hunts and does what eagles do best.

In order to end the need to please others with your appearance you need to become more confident with yourself through accomplishments you have achieved. Stop second guessing yourself – every time you second guess or doubt yourself you are allowing your Ego to choose what is best for you when it is your heart that brings you to what is best and of the highest of good because your heart is filled with goodness and love and where there is love the Ego cannot reside. The more you accustom yourself to following the direction of your heart and by making your own decisions based on where you wish to go rather than what someone else thinks you will raise your confidence and find how much more satisfying your journey becomes.

Too many times we observe so many dear souls pre-judging themselves because they expect others to deliver judgments, opinions and other viewpoints. Your thoughts are very powerful. Instead of expecting that someone will say or do anything because of your appearance give yourself a smile, and smile at the dear souls whom you assume are going to judge you based on your appearance. Smiling helps to enhance your self-esteem and it illustrates to others that you are confident in your appearance and most importantly with yourself. Most people that are smiled to before speaking to them will return the gesture and your interaction becomes much more enjoyable and any stress that was threatening dissolves.

When interacting with others, there is always the potential of not being understood. When you know you are going to share something, an insight or idea don’t think that it’s going to fail before you mutter a single word, envision success from the discussion or interaction instead and find ways that will help you deliver what you wish to say and share successfully and with confidence.

Emotions and feelings can lead you to feeling you are on a never-ending rollercoaster if they are permitted to run rampant. When you are constantly worrying about what another person thinks of you and of your appearance, this only intensifies your feelings and oftentimes brings about even greater emotions that create fear, prevent happiness and bring more stress into your already busy day. It’s important to be aware of any emotion that is moving through you. Recognize what this emotion is and see it as being separate from you so that it’s not an actual part of you and slowly watch this emotion dissolve into nothingness. The moment you consciously observe an emotion dear ones you become separated from it and if it’s no longer connected to you, it no longer exists.

What seems to be the hardest for most dear souls is the acceptance of themselves. Because so many dear souls are so obsessed about how they look in order to appeal to another person’s approval they forget that the most important approval does not come from any one person, but from themselves. Accept yourself for exactly who you are, how you look and where you are on your journey. If there are things that you, not another person thinks needs to be changed, then it is you that must discover ways to make what needs to be improved a success. Don’t complain about what you don’t like, instead do something about it. If what you don’t like about yourself is fixable then fix it your way with your own influence and power. If you come across something you cannot altar then remind yourself what you cannot change could always be worse and that there are dear souls in the world right now facing worse physical conditions. Learn to realize that some of the things you tend to worry about are really, truthfully not important but you made them important through negative self-talk and negative thought forms.

We encourage each of you to access more often your Inner Self, not your outer person. Don’t give so much power to your appearance that it takes away from your actual beauty and self-worth. It is your Inner Self, the beautiful divine spirit that resides within your precious heart that holds the true beauty of your true self. It is this beauty, this simple unadorned preciousness of your truest form of self that God sees.

There are great spiritual implications if a dear soul obsesses over their outward appearance which prevents them from seeing the real beauty of their authentic nature because they are too busy collecting fast-paced gadgets and what people think of them. Your life does not truly become richer simply because you have accumulated many material items – they do not take into account the purity of your soul that lives through all you do alongside your heart in all actions. They are just things; you are real, filled with endless opportunities to grow, to develop and to become all that you are meant to.

It is up to you dear ones how your journey will progress, it always has been. End the action of giving your power to others through your need to please them with your appearance or to dictate how your life should go. Appreciate their suggestions with kindness and love, but remember this is your journey. Even if your choices brings you to choices that produce what you consider to be a mistake, this choice holds your power and provides you with the opportunity and potential to learn what to change in order to produce a different outcome. Be confident with who you are on the inside and allow this strength of inner character shine glowingly on the outside. You are your own person as you cannot be any other.

And so it is…
