I choose to be human rather than perfect
As humans, we often strive for perfection. We want to be the best version of ourselves, to have everything under control, and to never make mistakes. However, this pursuit of perfection can be exhausting and can lead to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. That's why it's important to remember the affirmation: "I choose to be human rather than perfect".
Choosing to be human means accepting that we are not infallible beings. We are allowed to make mistakes, to have flaws, and to experience a range of emotions. It's okay to not have everything figured out all the time. In fact, it's perfectly normal.
When we choose to be human, we give ourselves permission to be vulnerable. We allow ourselves to ask for help when we need it, to admit when we're wrong, and to learn from our mistakes. We also give ourselves the opportunity to connect with others on a deeper level. When we show our humanity, we invite others to do the same, creating a sense of empathy and understanding.
On the other hand, when we strive for perfection, we often isolate ourselves. We put up walls to protect ourselves from criticism and judgment, and we distance ourselves from others. We may even become judgmental of others, expecting them to be perfect as well.
Choosing to be human also means embracing our imperfections. We all have things about ourselves that we wish were different, but those imperfections are what make us unique and interesting. They are what make us human. When we accept our imperfections, we can focus on our strengths and use them to make a positive impact on the world.
So, the next time you find yourself striving for perfection, remember the affirmation: "I choose to be human rather than perfect". Embrace your humanity, accept your imperfections, and connect with others on a deeper level. You'll find that life becomes much more fulfilling when you let go of the need to be perfect.
