“You are also a wonder” – Leo Babauta

I had lunch with friends today, some whom have plans this year for major life overhauls related to their diet and health. January 1st is a popular time to start new, healthy habits. I’ve done it, myself.

At home afterwards, I was browsing the archives of Zen Habits. As you may know, Leo Babauta has made many significant changes in his life over the course of time. However, he wrote a post last February called “You’re Not Doing Life Wrong.” I thought it was a nice reminder to be gentle with ourselves. Maybe all those resolutions are not strictly necessary. He says:

There’s an everpresent underlying feeling that most of us have that we could be doing things better. That we’re not sure how to live life. That we’re doing things wrong. … Now see how you are enough. Just as you are. Without any need for improvement. You are also a wonder, exactly enough.

I hope 2016 will be a year in which you will see the wonder in yourself and truly flourish!
