		<description>Heya Jean -
Greetings from a fellow monk, hehe! Just kidding - I&#039;ve seen you around at a few places, and just wanted to make contact - can&#039;t believe I just found your blog, it&#039;s really to my own heart. I think self-acceptance, even of our perceived &quot;flaws&quot; are one of the most important milestones one can ever achieve, so thank you for this reminder.

Cheers,
Albert

		<description>Let us all be satisfied of what we are. We are all unique but all equal in the eyes of God.

Thanks for inspiring me.

Love &amp; Gratitude,
Tina
Think Simple. Be Decisive.</description>

		<description>I think one way to describe maturity is to evolve to accept oneself, including perceived imperfections. There&#039;s a great section of Rhonda Byrne&#039;s book, The Secret, where teacher Lisa Nicholls describes her own process of revelation here.</description>

		<description>I am reading The Purpose Driven Life and I just found out God NEVER made any mistake in creating anyone. As rightly put by Rick Warren, No one is an accident.

Great post Jean. You are wonderful. I don&#039;t think I ever want to miss your posts again.</description>

		<description>Thank you for sharing! I truly love that picture. It&#039;s inspiring and uplifiting to see (and feel) her joy and authenticity..

It&#039;s also confronting to read (because at the same time, I know that it is so very true) that we do live in a world where (displaying) emotions like vulnerability, suffering and struggling are considered imperfections..

I&#039;m completely with you that bringing love, acceptance and compassion into this world will make a difference. No matter how small, it will always be a first step!</description>

		<description>I think what happens is that when we are rushed, hurried or stressed in our day to day life, we get irritated and annoyed with &quot;imperfections&quot; of others.  The slow clerk, the pushy salesman, things like that.

We appreciate the flaws of others more when we see ourselves reflected through them.  Thanks for a great article.</description>
