Perfection isn't up for grabs

No one is perfect though we want to be

People aren't perfect. No matter how much we strive to match perfection, it just isn't meant to be. You can exercise all you want to achieve that perfect body figure. You can study as hard and for many hours into the night to create that perfect mind. You can keep trying to one-up yourself all you want, but the truth of the matter is, you just won't be the perfect person. Everyone has there flaws. Some people try to correct these flaws or alter them so they don't stand out to the public. Flaws don't make you a bad person. Not realizing that you have flaws on the other hand, means that you need to wake up and notice the world. Flaws are the building blocks that makes you who you are. Imagine if we were all perfect. There would be no individuality. We would all act the same, we would all look the same, and we would all practically be the same person. We are all so set on trying to be better than we are, we don't realize that there is no better person than yourself. Most people I know have spent countless hours trying to be what they see as perfection. They are never happy with the outcome and they usually regret wasting so much of their time trying to fix themselves when they weren't even broken to begin with. It's kind of iike trying to fix or change an already working computer. You might just make it worse. Now, I'm not saying to stop trying to make yourself better. I'm saying to know what the limit is. Do what you can, but nothing more. Don't try so hard to make yourself someone you're not. There is no such thing as perfection in this world, but there is a thing as greatness. Make yourself a great person by having a great personality. Don't judge or belittle people because you think that you are better than them. Extend the hand of life and see if they are willing to live it.

This is a wonderful reminder full of wisdom. You hit the nail on its head when you remind us all of our uniqueness and individuality in terms of our potential, gifts and characteristics. We all cannot be mechanics! What about the doctors, builders, scientists, painters, poets, bus drivers...
Yet the natural equilibrium of life allows us to admire others without being obsessed and have hatred and low self-esteem of ourselves.
Contentment, simplicity and earthiness are the keys to the doors that lead to peace of mind, inner joy and genuine self love ❤️
