Perfection, who needs it?

Posted on by philipdodson

We are conditioned to seek perfection in all that we do and are.

Yet, perfection is not interesting and the things we love the most in life are the imperfections in things and people. Imperfect is human, is nature, is life.

When we reach perfection, it is only fleeting, because someone or something else will always be more perfect.

It is our ego and the mind that pushes us to hide behind perfection, we can use it as an excuse to avoid being who we truly are or doing what brings us joy. The mind will sabotage and say ‘it’s not good enough, it’s not perfect…just don’t bother’.

Imperfectly enjoy life.

Doing the opposite to what brings us joy

We always feel most at ease and peace inside when we are truly ourselves, when we are not wearing any hats, when we are not acting out any roles, when we are not trying to fit in. We feel most at ease when we set our boundaries, when we do not justify ourselves, when we do not seek approval or permission.

Amazingly we spend most of our lives doing the opposite of what brings us peace and joy. We are always trying to fit in, trying to please others, acting out roles, seeking approval and permission and fearing being our true self in case we offend someone.

Madness given we only get one shot at this human experience on this rock.

Just be you and enjoy the journey and the ones who are the true beings will get you as you are and those who don’t, well they have a different journey to yours.
