Today I want to talk to you about the beauty of having contradictions and imperfections, as we celebrate this special month and season of the year…

Most People say they don't like fake, phony acting "other" people. I've learned that I, and we, at least most people, fake something at some point of time and are aware of it (especially on social media). We just don't like it when other people find out , judge us or harass us about it . Is that your case?… (Don't answer that..lol)

Feelings can be described like projects under construction. They need to stay hidden sometimes. There is no need to expose all of our feelings in public too early, until they are sorted out, and they become strong enough to sustain our own judgement or any other outside judgement…

I'm here to encourage someone today that sometimes, covering our feelings (or protecting them)for the sake of clarity is a skill, a tool that we can choose to use especially when we are underpressure, unsure; and we are too focused on something else, that requires all our attention. Overlooking your feelings does not mean ignoring them or being untrue. It simply is an efficient way of keeping your feelings and actions in check, while you are busy focusing for a moment, a day, a time, a season… on other things. Same is also true when it comes to our imperfections.

We all have imperfections and live with them everyday. When you begin to acknowkege your imperfections like the natural features that they are, just like your emotions, you stop eventually fighting them. Stop fighting your imperfections. Acknowledge your imperfections, just like your feelings. But don't let them stop you, while you are still in the process of learning beyond the scope of immediate reality. So let go of your old feelings (anything in you that fuels fear) and keep building your new self.

Honestly, I' ve learned that putting your feelings first in everything that you do can be so exhausting and so confusing. Some goals cannot wait. You are needed regardless of how you feel, and faking long enough can be what it takes to get you back on track and stay focused.

I' m here today to encourage all of us who have felt bad about putting on a face every now and then to keep going. Let us do it gracefully, focusing on what our "sacrifice" is ultimately accomplishing that we couldn't have otherwise.

So go ahead! Get up and put on your best happy face at work until it makes sense to you. Save the best for last. Let go of your fears and put your feelings to work until the strongest feeling survives. Let love be that "feeling", defeating all the bad feelings and clearing them way . All Feelings are natural. But Don't let the wrong feelings get in the way of accomplishing what means even more to you…
.I welcome your comments, feedback and insights…
