The quote “ Embrace the Glorious mess that you are” is from ‘Big Magic: How to Live a Creative Life, and Let Go of Your Fear’ by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of the acclaimed ‘Eat Pray Love’.
The quote refers to the acknowledgement of everything that one is. Recognition of not just the good, but the bad and ‘ugly’ also, without judgment or prejudice. It accepts fear and imperfection and makes space for them, without constraint.
To do so modestly invites peace, a rare commodity in the age of information - where all too frequently advertisements prey upon our very base desires, metastasizing self-doubt and insecurity, adding further pressure to already stressful lives.
