For most of our lives, we’re told we need to fix ourselves. Fix our flaws, fix our insecurities, fix the parts of us that feel broken. But what if we’re not meant to be fixed? What if life isn’t about repairing who we are, but about becoming who we were always meant to be? What if there was never anything broken in the first place?
You are not a problem to solve. Yes, you’ve made mistakes. Yes, you have wounds. Yes, there are parts of you that feel messy, uncertain, unfinished. But unfinished doesn’t mean broken. A tree doesn’t apologise for being in the middle of its growth. The ocean doesn’t try to fix itself when it shifts between calm and stormy. And you? You are evolving, expanding, unfolding. There is nothing to fix. There is only more of you to discover.
When you believe you need fixing, you live life in repair mode. You see challenges as proof that you’re not enough. You chase self-improvement from a place of lack, not love. You keep waiting for the moment you finally feel complete, but the finish line keeps moving, always just out of reach. And if you believe you’re broken, no amount of fixing will ever feel like enough.
But imagine a different way. Imagine seeing yourself not as something to fix, but as something to nurture. Instead of thinking, I need to be better, try I am growing. Instead of I should have figured this out by now, try Every season of life teaches me something new. Instead of I need to get rid of this part of me, try How can I understand this part of me better?You’re not repairing. You’re not erasing. You are becoming.
Becoming isn’t a straight path. Some days you’ll feel strong, aligned, radiant. Other days you’ll feel lost, confused, like you’re taking two steps back. That doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re growing. A seed buried in the soil doesn’t panic—it trusts the process. A caterpillar doesn’t fight the cocoon—it surrenders to transformation. And you? You don’t need to rush. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Every phase has purpose. Every season has wisdom. Let it unfold.
Real growth isn’t about cutting off parts of yourself—it’s about integrating them. Your past mistakes? They gave you wisdom. Your emotions? They guide you. Your struggles? They built your resilience. Nothing was wasted. Nothing was pointless. It all made you more you.
There is no final version of you waiting at the finish line, because life isn’t about arriving—it’s about becoming. Every experience adds a new layer. Every lesson shapes you in ways you can’t yet see. Every challenge invites you to step deeper into your truth. And one day, you’ll look back and realise — You were never broken. You were always becoming. ✨
