All of my life I have battled perfect – being perfect, not being perfect, expecting others to be perfect, wondering what is perfect…on and on the thoughts unravel…I think I have mastered my driving need to be “perfect” only to have it show up somewhere else.
It is during these times I am reminded of my stumbling and bumbling through life. Things are so clear cut in my mind, but when I really step back, I view my “two-steps-forward, one-step-back jig” over and over. And in fact, I am grateful. When I see this need to be “perfect” revealed - I see my hurts, but also the hurts of those around me. Not only do I have more compassion for others, but most importantly - I have more compassion for me.
When I surrender in my battle with perfect, I discover peace and acceptance. Not a peace built on certain circumstances, events or people, but a peace with self. True peace.
