It's just about being human, loving the journey, and being REAL. Letting what's inside of you out to the surface rather than hiding those parts of you that you fear are wrong, bad or unworthy. To realize your full potential and truly unleash the depths of what you have to give to the world, you have to own ALL of you.
Focusing on your insecurities and flaws will only give you the wrong perspective of things, and it could even lead to the wrong set of decisions or the wrong path because you're trying so hard to change your flaws. Embracing your flaws will allow you to have the right perspective, both on the world and on yourself.
Even in things that are broken, there is beauty. Scars and fractures tell their own story – they show wisdom, experience, fortitude, resilience. These imperfections are, in and of themselves, undeniably beautiful. There are so many times in your life when you will feel broken – do not hide in the shadows.
Our imperfections can also bring us closer to others, especially to those we might look down upon because of their flaws and weaknesses. Don't most of us find it hard to be compassionate unless we realize that we, too, have weaknesses?
When we accept that we all have flaws, we become more personable and well-rounded as an individual – it becomes easier to connect with others around you because people won't feel judged by you and you won't feel judged by other people.
Growing up with not enough acceptance and too much shame, we may cling to our shortcomings, past failures, and poor decisions. We minimize the good things about ourselves and our positive qualities. Scientists tell us that our brain has a negativity bias.
Overview. Body dysmorphic disorder is a mental health condition in which you can't stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in your appearance — a flaw that appears minor or can't be seen by others. But you may feel so embarrassed, ashamed and anxious that you may avoid many social situations.
We notice our own flaws more than other people do, because we have to live with ourselves every day. We know what every inch of our face looks like, so when we get a zit, we really notice it.
We make bad decisions. And while these mistakes and imperfections are all completely normal. We judge ourselves, often very harshly, for being imperfect—for being human.
When you love your flaws, you create an environment where you're either able to make the kinds of specific changes you truly want (from an authentic place of intention) or learn to love and accept yourself, whether an actual change takes place or not.
One of the best ways to recognize your own flaws is to consult with the people you interact with most. This can be done formally — such as through a questionnaire — or casually in a conversation. Ask them to offer their constructive criticism of what you're doing wrong. This can be humbling.
When you say “you're perfectly imperfect” to others, it means you accept others' flaws, and like you are imperfect, so is he/she. Also, it is a way of saying that they're perfect for you. For example, when your beautiful girlfriend says to you “my face is not perfect because of my big nose.”
