Approval

The problem with not feeling like we are enough is that we often need someone else’s approval to confirm that we are enough.  We build our life on the opinions of others.  We don’t accept our being little, imperfect, weak.  This might be why we become more unsettled as we age.  We diminish in ways that are new to us.  “We used to” but now we cannot or cannot do as we did.  I try not to base my day and my aging on someone’s approval of me.  It is a gift to be alive today.  So I must have some purpose with my diminished skills.  Meditation reminds me that God loves me.
