You are good the way you are right now

Seen from the perspective of your personality, it would be very nice if he could really make you believe this to be true: it is good the way you are right now. Everyday life proves differently: you may even find yourself somehow acceptable or nice or likewise, however, there will always be someone who does not share this vieuw in a way your personality likes - or even rejects. Your personality then would have to ensure this would not make you experience hurt, however, this too is never completely succesful. So there is no way in which your personality can make this idea really work for you, not through himself, not through others, nor through hiding things from your awareness.

And yet, the statement is true in itself. And the only way in which you can understand this, is from a different point of view than the one of your personality: the one of your inner Self. Since when you are 'good' the way you are right now, this can only be true when everything you believe you are, were to be neutral in itself, otherwise this would be impossible. And that is exactly how your personality looks at what you believe is 'you'.

The powerlessness and mild irritation you are likely to experience when someone says that you are good the way you are - simply because your personality knows he cannot make this work for you - and your reaction in the form of a kind of rejection in order to reestablish the worldview of your personality, can now also be used as a trigger to explore other options than the ones your personality is able to offer you.

Of course the same applies in a likewise way for the saying "it is good the way it is".
