Here’s the truth we don’t hear enough: we live in a culture that thrives on our self-doubt.

It sells us wrinkle creams, six-week shreds, and IG reel-perfect routines with one underlying message:
“Fix yourself. You’re not enough yet.”


But here’s the kicker: as imperfect humans… we’re never going to be “enough” by those standards. And honestly? That’s a tremendous relief.

Because the goal isn’t perfection—it’s presence. It’s not about having it all together. It’s about showing up anyway. Mascara smeared, laundry half-done, projects not completed, 20 pounds heavier than you planned to be by now—and still, you rise.

The striving? That’s in the everyday.
  • In choosing to take a walk when you feel numb.
  • In choosing to speak kindly to yourself instead of tearing yourself down.
  • In choosing to say, “God, I don’t know what I’m doing… but I’m here.”
    
And here’s the bigger truth: God never asked for perfect. He asks for a pure heart. He asks for the willingness to show up in the middle of the mess, to take one gritty step forward, to trust that you’re being shaped in ways no filter or reel can capture.

Because perfection is boring. But presence? Presence is where the miracles happen.

So let me ask you this: Where can you show up today, as you are—not polished, not perfect, but present?

That’s where change begins. That’s where confidence grows. That’s where you rise.
