The Gate of Not-Okay
The
only thing that can make us uncomfortable with being alone is not
liking who we are. That’s what we do when we face the wall: we face who
we are. Being okay with however that arises is the most compassion and
the most honesty you can ever offer yourself—to just accept yourself as
you are. Even if you don’t like it, that’s okay, because not-okay is
always a practice gate. We can always include what we don’t like in
ourselves. But letting go of worrying about having to become perfect:
that’s a gift that we give to ourselves.
