Perfection

In life we are always taught to aim for perfection but what is perfection but another’s perception of how they would like things to be in the world. We allow others to be the judge when it comes to our lives reaching for the impossible goal that will give us the recognition we crave from our peers the acknowledgement of our worth in this world. Like the man said the difference between a weed and a flower is a judgment. So if we chase after another’s perception of perfection are we not merely chasing an illusion?
Maybe it is not perfection but peace we should be looking for. The inner peace that comes from acceptance of who we are and where we are right now at this moment the breath in then out with the thought I am enough.
Perfection after all is simply a label that peels off with age. Imagine always looking for the perfect partner the perfect life the perfect home what will you have missed with such a limited view. Maybe the slightly eccentric lover who although not perfect makes you laugh on the darkest of days or the different lifestyle that challenges everyday to be more than the day before or perhaps the home where the dishes are less important than the hugs.
We are not born to be perfect that is why we are all different we are born to be great! Think about it….

Be kind to each other:
it is better to commit faults with gentleness than to work miracles with unkindness.

Mother Teresa
