We need to start, not only talking about what we are great at, but also where we still struggle and where we are still very much a work in progress.
Especially as adults.
So the ones looking up at us (children and those whose lives we somehow influence), do not feel so scared when they slip up (as we do) and feel like failures (as we did), so unnecessarily.
Life is a series of mini evolutions for us all through life experiences.
None of us are born knowing how to perfectly ace these life experiences.
Its not a series of exams.
Its a series of experiences.
These experiences are made much less painful if we accept that they are just that….experiences.
And that we are not meant to do them ‘ perfectly’.
As adults, lets talk about our vulnerabilities and our experiences in a wholesome way ( not leaving the unsavoury bits out ) so our kids and others being influenced by us, do not feel they have to aspire to inauthentic levels of perfection.
None of us are failures.
We are all merely going through life as humans.
This is not an easy feat.
Why not celebrate the fact that we are here, doing this together?
Celebrate each others wins and be there for ourselves and others in grace when the going gets tough.
