I often joke around that my wife Sara is incredible because she knows everything about me and still loves me. I'm grateful that as I've gotten older, I've learned that it is okay to have flaws and still be worthy of her love.

Living your life constantly comparing yourself to others who you think are prettier, stronger, more talented, smarter, or more attractive than you is exhausting and discouraging. You are valuable because of who you simply are. You are inherently worthy of love. There are messages coming at you every day telling you that you don't measure up or that you need to change to be more deserving of pure devotion and adoration. It is time to distance yourself from anything that makes you feel less than priceless. Yes, reach for high accomplishments, yes, seek to improve, but beware comparison based value; it is harmful and often crippling. Instead, accept your imperfections as evidence that you are wonderfully human. When you recognize your own infinite value, you'll begin to naturally help others do the same.
