I can embrace all of my feelings–
even the unpleasant ones–
with respect.

I can allow my inconsistencies.

I don't have to be right.

I don't have to like everyone.

I don't have to get everything done.

I don't have to please anyone
(and that includes God).

Each mistake I make can teach me,
but really, it doesn't have to.

Baby steps…
