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.

What we give

Posted on by philipdodson

What we want from others can only be as much as we are prepared to give and we have to be prepared to be that person first without any condition or attaching anything to our actions.

If we want more love we have to be love

If we want more kindness we have to be kindness.

If we want more empathy we have to be empathetic.

We have these expectations of others which we could choose to have none and then there can not be disappointment.

What we give out will come back. We have to be the light and example not simply expect it from others.
