The other day I overheard someone making disparaging comments about someone who was overweight, saying they should know better. I was most offended by this comment, so I've decided to get up on my soapbox about it.
When we were on the etheric plane creating our life path, we chose our challenges, our obstacles, our loves, our friends and even our enemies. We chose our bodies with all their benefits and drawbacks. The body we chose to incarnate in was one that would teach us. Our body would teach us we couldn't tame our frizzy hair, we couldn't straighten our legs or make them walk better, we couldn't change our looks (until plastic surgery came on the scene, anyway!), we were stuck with them, no matter what. The most important lesson we learn from our bodies is to love them no matter what, to love the person we are and not the 'suit' we are wearing on this earthly plane. We aren't all born georgeous and without faults, we are created uniquely with a set of challenges our outward appearance provides and our life lesson is to love it in spite of it's faults.
So next time you look at your body and bemoan all the things wrong with it, instead try to consider all the things that are right with it. Embrace the physical person you are and love the suit you are in. We are unique and beautiful outside and in. Life isn't about changing who we are or what we look like, its about loving our selves unconditionally and accepting our magnificence in spite of our imperfections.
And next time you see someone who sin't perfect, instead of criticising them, admire them for the lessons they chose to learn from their bodes. Be inspired!
