According to Richard Rohr, we can only be whole if we accept our imperfections. God loves us unconditionally so why should we not do the same with ourselves..
I only found inner peace these past few years when I learned to forgive myself when I say the wrong thing or make the wrong move in a situation. I used to dread going through the day's events at night before I sleep since I would be feeling so small having said this or done that.
It does not mean I am not sorry for what I have done but I am embracing more my being human and not too hard on myself. My imperfections are part and parcel of my whole self. I have found more peace as I end the day and also in starting a new day when I have lived with my whole self with all its dings.
