I AM PERFECT(-LY IMPERFECT)
I have chosen to be perfectly imperfect when I realized that it’s actually ridiculous to set standards and strive for perfectionism. Perfectionism is a bog, a brainwashing pill, and venom.
It’s a bog: People’s notions about perfectionism undetectably pull in and slowly drag us deep down to the bottom. People around us decisively pretend to be perfect and take delight in sinking us down. It suffocates us. Makes us panic.
It’s a brainwashing pill: It makes us believe that we are useless if we don’t measure up to the standards, the ones this society has set for us. All our lives, we were taught how we should be how we should look. Let us stop swallowing the pill as it has a lot many side effects. It creates self-doubting, it builds stress. Some people talk big about their too disciplined lives. Seriously?! Check their crooked tongues behind their beautiful lips! The more we swallow these pills the more we lose our brains.
It is venom: Pointless perfection is venom which spoils our happiness-system, self-worth system, and our hope-system. If they say perfection is all about having sexy physic, super cool lifestyles, strict routines and when we lack even one out of it, then it makes us feel “I am not fit enough” “I am not worthy among these people”. It stays in our system and annoys us. No. then we should immediately run for the ‘anti-venom’.
The anti-venom for upsetting perfection: We can’t control people from criticizing us. We can’t change the world. Don’t try even. People may never stop projecting their opinions-low or high-about themselves on us. Say ‘cheers’ and move on. Perfectionism will not protect us. Our own self-scrutiny and self-improvement are the best antivenoms that protect us.
Authenticity is the rope: There is no perfect man or a perfect life. No two persons are the same. You and I are here for different reasons. Let us take a time to find our true nature. We need not conceal our imperfections. Realistic perfectionism is progressing from what we are now. We must catch hold of the authenticity and invest our time and energy for our infinite progress. A happy life is accepting us as for how we are and accepting others as for how they are.
We are this amazing nature. And it’s natural to have vulnerabilities. Can you paint the moon in total white? In other sense, we are already perfect by ourselves as we are the CREATION. Sounds contradictory? No..think!
Being human is perfect. Being genuine is perfect.
Thank You. Love!!
