It’s challenging to fully face all facets of ourselves. There are parts that we are proud of, revel about, and want more of. There are also other parts we try to avoid, are shameful of, or want to rid ourselves of.

We must embrace all parts of ourselves because as much as we would like to, we can’t split off the less desirable parts. All parts become negatively impacted when we try to do this.

All of you is wonderful, worthy, and enough. Strive toward your self-compassion and personal growth by really looking at yourself, internally and externally, facing all parts of yourself.

Have compassion for the parts that have a limited ability to change. For the other parts, make the necessary changes that you can in order to live a more mindful and meaningful life. We only have one life to live, if you live it meaningfully, one life is enough.
