Normal and natural is still ok

From time to time I scroll through social media accounts. I see the highs and lows of being a celebrity. Some people desire a life of that magnitude, but forget the cost that is paid for it. The money is great, and you get to travel and meet new people, but some of the down falls are not knowing who is a real friend, being single because the right one hasn’t cross your path or being robbed. There are other good and bad traits, but you get my drift. A member of society measures their life based on someone else. In many ways that is the worst thing to do. In looking at your life you tend to get depressed or think you are not good enough.  I’m here to tell you that being normal and natural is still ok.  Even an athlete with an amazing body still sees imperfections.  It is a constant battle of fixing yourself to improve to a measure you may never reach. Now I’m not saying it’s not good to work out and be healthy. I’m saying to be realistic with your goals. Here is a great example about something I did this week. I have been wanting to buy a bigger home. It is a want not so much as a need. In all realness I could remodel the one I have to accommodate what I need to accomplished.  This week I began to research a bigger home. The more I looked the more I notice people were foreclosing on their homes. The mortgage payments were ridiculous. Some homes were fairly new and completely destroyed inside. What would appear to be a deal would eventually become a money pit. It made me look at the home I currently live in and see the potential that I was blessed with. Bigger isn’t always better. Sometimes the things we desire aren’t the best for us and when we truly obtain them we have to live with the decisions we made.  I’m appreciating the little things more and more. Being content in who I am, what I am and where my life journey has taken me. I don’t have to fit into what society deems as acceptable. I’m assured in myself to know that being naturally me is still ok. Even my imperfections add character to me.
