Be patient with yourself. You are a work in progress. Have you ever seen an artist at work? A little paint goes here, and then the artist sits back to study what has been created. Not quite right? Change it a bit. Keep tweaking. How do you know what perfection is? There is an innate knowing of what is good and beautiful. The creative process is ongoing—not because there is anything wrong with you. Quite the contrary. You are everything good and beautiful. It is simply a process of revealing this brushstroke by brushstroke and enjoying the process.

You are so very loved.
