You don't have to be 'GOOD' all the time

There are men who believe they need to be ‘good’ and or ‘perfect’ all the time.
​
Which can be draining, stressful and a pursuit that can be unrelenting.
​
Problem is we take ourselves too seriously, become incredibly hard on ourselves when we don’t live up to this standard or image, and others don’t get the most authentic version of us.
​
This actually blocks connection and love, because others don’t really connect with perfection, they connect with each other’s humanness.
​
We can also experience a tendency to self-isolate and hide ourselves from others in fear of being exposed that we may not be good enough. Never letting others really get to know us truly at a deeper level, and closing our hearts off from receiving a deeper and unconditional love that we all long for.
​
This behaviour is learned from an early age, as we were taught that the only way we would be shown love is if we we’re a good boy, and withdrawn love when we weren’t.
​
I battled with this for the majority of my life, until I begun to let go of the belief of having to be perfect all the time and learned to accept I can be at times weird, a little sloppy, angry and get things wrong, and that’s okay, I’m still worthy of love.
​
To my fellow perfectionist men, It’s okay to make mistakes, laugh at ourselves, say the wrong thing, swear, be angry and not get things ‘right’.
​
The more we accept we’re neither good or bad, but we have the capacity to be both and everything else all in one, the more comfortable we feel to be ourselves.
​
Imagine what we can create and achieve from this place within ourselves!?
