We are Imperfect...Get Over it!!!

There are a lot of perfectionists around wouldn't you say? I am still trying to decide if I am or not...certainly in some areas more than others I suppose.

I read an interesting idea about being a perfectionist that is, it conflicts with peace. Think about it. Do you know any absolute perfectionist whose life is filled with inner peace? The need for perfection in life really does conflict with the desire for peace. I would go as far as saying the two cannot co-exist.

Rather than being content with who we are, with the way things are in our lives, or with what we have, we focus on what is wrong with these areas and what needs to be fixed. When we focus on the crap and everything we don't like about our situation we live a life of dissatisfaction, discontent and without peace.

We want a perfect world with no inconveniences and no mistakes so when they happen, we get all bent out of shape.

Sure things can always be better, and there is always room for improvement and growth but why not appreciate and enjoy the way things are right now?

Whether I am a perfectionist or not I have done my fair share of complaining and for that I am sorry and seek God's forgiveness. I have so much and am learning to be grateful~biggie size!
