The world teaches you to pick yourself apart. Resist.
If you must pick a fight, fight the urge to make yourself lesser or smaller than you are. The aim is not perfection; the aim is to stay intact.
The words Perfect, Whole, Entire, and Intact are often used interchangeably. They all speak to the idea of “not lacking or being faulty.” But a closer look (thanks to the Miriam-webster dictionary) reveals a subtle but important difference.
“PERFECT implies the soundness and the excellence of every part… frequently as an unattainable or theoretical state.” Ex. a perfect set of teeth.
“INTACT implies retention of perfection of a thing in its natural or original state.” Ex. the house survived the war intact.
Perfection by itself is unattainable and theoretical, but when you are intact in your original state, you are already perfect. Let’s say that one again…
You are perfectly intact in your original form.
It can be easy to feel pulled, torn, twisted, or split apart by life. Intact does not mean you aren’t tired, depleted, or in need of support. Intact means you are moving from and staying true to who you are at your core, the essence of you. That is your original form. That is perfect. That is your true north when the world feels upside down.
When you feel the war raging on around you, trust the wisdom that is in you.
Your body knows how you are being impacted both externally and internally throughout your day. Trust that it knows the movement you need to navigate back on course with the core of you fully intact.
