Insights On Perfection

There are some facts about life that is beyond our power to erase, above all is the ability to be perfect. Some way, somehow we all would love life to go so smooth (oh I would love that too), were they would not be any errors, no one getting to annoy anybody, things not failing for us to make corrections , everything just going perfectly. But then is it possible *sighs*, is it possible to avoid failures? Is it possible to resist failures? Is it possible to stay without having something go wrong and we having to fix it? Just like you are thinking so am I, it is not possible to have everything right.

I will be discussing some insights about perfection. There are a few things we need to note and I will be listing the few and they include:

1. You can never be perfect: Do not try so hard, the harder you try, the more complicated you get things for yourself. Life just has us fixed that way, you can never be perfect but then there will be mistakes, failures but there will always be a way out. You cannot be perfect, but even in our imperfection there is always a solution.

2. Things would not always happen how you want them to: Some people tend to say they are perfectionist, oh no! That’s rather wrong, they are rather solution providers and they also have people who provide them solutions. Never expect everything to happen how you want them to. More often than not we want things to happen at that particular moment because they will make us happy but then is that the right thing for us. We can succeed, success does not connote perfection. Give your best to all you do and with God it will work out fine.

3. Do not expect perfection from others: Whatever ideas you might have thought of are yours, do not expect people to give it to you just as you have it in your head. Do not expect others to always agree with you, what might be right to you might not just be right to me. We are different individuals with our unique personalities. 

ACCEPTANCE IS KEY

We just have to accept things how they come, take people how we see them and correct the few we can and adapt to those we can hardly change or better still avoid them.

We have to trade the ideas of being perfectionist. We can only work hard to improve, the changes we see but never expect everything you try to always work, something’s are not just for you, someone else would rather do that thing than you. Never expect everyone to say yes to your ideas and beliefs. The idea of perfection is impossible, it only makes us unhappy.

By accepting that we are not perfect, it gives us more room to try, to realize, to make corrections and to live.

Name that thing you have tried and it made you realize I can't actually do everything.
