SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS

     It's exhausting to be self-conscious, to feel uncomfortable in what we are wearing, or out of place inside our own skins. It is a test of spiritual evolution to be aware of such discomfort and then find a way to rise above it; to be secure in our inherent value, and stable no matter the clothes and no matter our awkwardness, and no matter our less than perfect presentation to the world. We worry what others will think, but the only opinion that really makes the difference in the end is our own.

I accept myself as I am and carry my insecurities with grace and humor and a certain amount of style.
