To affirm that I am perfect just as I am does not mean that I am flawless. It means that I am at a place of accepting myself right where I am. I am not expecting myself to be somewhere or someone else. I am exactly where I am suppose to be.
As I affirm this perfection, I am accepting all of me - my strengths, my weaknesses, my dreams, my secrets, and my past. I am all of these things and I am learning to love me.
Today I accept my past and my present and cherish all the events that have made me me. Even the most negative experiences have given me gifts. My sexual abuse has given me the gifts of compassion, perseverance, courage, and wisdom. I am not saying that I am grateful for the abuse. I am saying that today I can recognize and cherish the parts of me that have kept me alive and given me a passion to live.
Today I am perfect - because I am accepting me!
