The Unfiltered Life; Embracing Your Strengths, Weaknesses, and Everything In Between - E-book - ePub

Life's messy, chaotic, unpredictable-like a whirlwind spinning around us every day. And let me tell you, that's not something to run from. It's something you dive into, headfirst, grabbing hold of the good, the bad, and everything right there in the middle. This isn't a practice run. No one's getting a second go. So why waste time pretending everything's perfect? Why gloss over the things that don't go your way, hide your missteps, or avoid facing those messy parts of yourself? There's no sense in doing that.
You've got strengths, right? Sure, everyone likes to talk about that. People are always quick to point out their best attributes, flaunt their victories, shout from the rooftops when something goes their way. But what about the other side of the coin? The things you shove into the corner, hoping nobody notices? Those missteps, the quirks, those moments when you're not at your best. It's like people forget that they're just as important.
Some might say more important. Look, there's this pressure out there to be perfect. It's a societal thing, right? Everyone's curating these perfect little lives on social media. They've got the filters, the edited videos, the polished everything. But here's the thing: behind all that, it's just people. Flawed, messy, sometimes brilliant, sometimes confused people. And trying to filter your life, smooth out the edges, hide the dents-it's a losing game.
