Perfection

Most of us spend basically our whole life trying to be perfect. Even if people tell us it isn't possible, we still continue to strive for this mere state of being. Personally, I'm in love with imperfection. I've learned to accept that nothing will ever be perfect no matter how hard we try. The imperfections in this world is how things are created. Think about it. Art is not created without imbalance. Discoveries are not found without mistakes. Love is not experienced without pain. Perfection simply cannot be reached, which is why we should learn to embrace the imperfections. As we get to know a person, we slowly notice certain behaviors and characteristics about them in precise detail. While we easily overlook the good, we tend to focus on the negatives. Why? Because it's a chance for us to put down others and bring ourselves up to a higher potential so to speak. Honestly though, I love the idea of how God created every human with a few flaws. In fact, it gives me reassurance that the world is still going, that there is still hope in the world with opportunities standing arms wide open just waiting to be fixed. When we accept our own flaws, as well as others, we have come to a state of endearment and compromise with ourselves and the rest of the world. By knowing I have imperfections and readily accepting them, I know I can be who I want without trying to change myself. I've come to the understanding that I can't just go through life trying to alter myself to be more like my idea of 'perfect'. All I have to do is live for who I am, flaws and all, and that will surely be enough.
