The Rose Garden

 Todays collective card carries such an important message for so many people right now, this card is reminding you that you are human and being a human does not include being perfect doing perfect and living a life of perfection.

We can get so caught up in the perfect lives of social influencers and celebrities that we too can often strive to follow but, you must remember that these “perfect captions” are snippets of happy blissful little moments, that is not real life it is a “caption” of a few moments in 24 hours.

We are reminded today that being human does not equate to being perfect, we are all here to unlearn, relearn and learn our way through life and sometimes that will look like dark days, frustrations, annoyances and outbursts of anger even but this is not a bad thing this is normal life, this imperfect day to day is what is real.

Living life in the real world can sometimes make us feel judgemental towards ourselves, we can feel guilty about not progressing quick enough or even at all, we may have hurt some feelings in the heat of a moment situation and we feel bad but truth is this is all perfectly normal and real. It’s how you act after these situations that really matters now and that we learn from these things so we can grow and evolve. 

So today, The Rose Garden which is really a beautiful card shows you that being human means feeling emotions, being real, knowing that we are all different here but are all doing the same thing, we learn from our mistakes we understand that we are “only human” and to really come back to the innocence of who and what we are, accept yourself for you, understand we are not always doing what others perceive as right but for us we are learning as we move forward, but regardless of all this we must learn to let things go that make us feel inadequate, the guilty feelings of “must be better, must do better” 

Something to remember is, perfect does not exist, we learn and grow, kindness is the way forward, if you 

Be kind to yourself, stop the harsh judgements and talking ill of you. Forgive, forgive yourself for anything you may have done that you feel ashamed of, you must learn why you done it to understand why you was on that path and then take from that experience and learn how to not be there again.

We all have things we can be embarrassed about, ashamed of but the truth is we are all human and sometimes our stories will include these things, we are not broken, we are not bad we may have derailed but that doesn’t mean we can keep progressing, accept yourself and all your past versions, be kind to yourself for carrying you through all you have travelled through to sit here right now, you are real! We do not need to compare ourself to those picture perfect snippets of people that are highlighting a few fab minutes out of a week of real life moments.

It’s time to grow in your own unique way, commit to yourself return yourself to humanity release any shame you hold and bin the guilt, be you unapologetically because the real you, the one that has experienced many things, the one many can relate to, the one that is human… your the one the world needs
