It's Okay To Be Perfectly Human

​Below is my reflection to the article by Brian J Plachta:
Life is like a river flowing through ups and downs of living and I need to go with the flow. As a human being, I have gone through many ups and downs in my life. Rather than fighting against the ups and downs of life I have learnt to accept both. When I accept both I do not block the flow of energy. I accept the ups and downs of the current of the river in my life. Maintaining a dynamic balance between ups and downs saves my energy and it helps me to go with the flow. As a growing human being I have learnt that to err is human and to forgive is divine. When I err I do not deny my error. I forgive myself, learn from my errors and move on. I do not create a wall of denial, deceive myself and continue repeating the same cycle of misery. From my experience, I have learnt the lesson of not to stop the river of life flowing. From my experience I have learnt to let the river of forgiveness flow. Forgiving myself and the others in my life and loving myself unconditionally has lightened the burden of living mindlessly. I practice the art of living mindfully accepting the truth that I am not perfect and other people in my life are also not perfect. We all are on the path of learning and transforming ourselves from darkness to light. May we all join our hands and walk on the path of learning, growing and relating to each other as children of God.
Namaste!

I really love this original post. I agree and we tend to be very hard on ourselves and we have to show ourselves compassion and mercy just like I know God does for me. I think it should be equally noted that we should remember that we should view others as perfectly human as well and not be as hard on them as long as they too accept it and recognize it and are authentically and sincerely sorry for any errors they make.

I don't personally do a whole lot of negative self-talk to myself I will usually catch myself because I don't do it too much what I do instead is when I make an error I usually not only apologize to the person but more importantly apologize to God. So for example when I'm driving and somebody drives crazy that can cause harm to themselves or others I don't do it as often now as when I was younger but now if it does just automatically come because I don't think first and I say what an idiot I immediately say sorry God and say a prayer to protect that driver and all of those around him or her.
