WHO do you give yourself permission to be? Do you have to be perfect or do you feel guilty if you aren't?
WHO do you give the people around you permission to be? Do you allow the people around you to be imperfect or do you demand perfection?
The
Five Minute Friday prompt this week is WHO
I want to do
this -->
I want to intentionally express to the people around me, starting in my home, they are LOVED and they BELONG.
They don't have to do "it" right. They don't have to "be" anything in particular.And they never have to be perfect to be in relationship with me.
WHO do you value?
How do you communicate that to them?
Do they feel like they belong in your presence?
If they do, how do you know?
If they don't, how do you know?
The book I've listened to twice because it was so incredibly insightful, was Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone by Brene' Brown. Read it. It's fantastic! Encouraging in this day and age where so many are trying to prove they matter.
