Offer to yourself your own permission to be accepting of that which you view to be the shadows of you, and allow yourself a new perception, a turning of your perception, recognizing that you need not be discounting of yourself, you need not be chastising of yourself or striving for perfection, but all that you create within your reality is an expression of you. Those elements of your reality that you view to be the inadequacies or the shortcomings or the mistakes are in actuality perfect also, for they are the shadows that offer you depth. For without the shadow you create a flatness and no depth.
