perfection.

"Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect -and I don't live to be- 

but before you start pointing fingers... 

make sure your hands are clean!" 

— Bob Marley

Striving for excellence motivates you; striving for perfection is demoralizing.  ~Harriet Braiker

Once you accept the fact that you're not perfect, then you develop some 

confidence.  ~Rosalynn Carter

 

The human story does not always unfold like a mathematical calculation on the principle that two and two make four.  Sometimes in life they make five or minus three; and sometimes the blackboard topples down in the middle of the sum and leaves the class in disorder and the pedagogue with a black eye.  ~Winston Churchill

Congratulations!  You're not perfect!  It's ridiculous to want to be perfect anyway.  But then, everybody's ridiculous sometimes, except perfect people. But wait. ...are there perfect people?  You know what perfect is?  Perfect is not eating or drinking or talking or moving a muscle or making even the teensiest little mistake.  Perfect is never doing anything wrong - which means never doing anything at all. Which means not really living, right?!  Perfect is boring!  So you're not perfect!  Wonderful!  Have fun! ! Do something crazy. make a bucket list. Break the rules.  Trip over your own shoelaces!  Laugh!  Let somebody else laugh at you!  Perfect people never do any of those things.  All they do is sit around and sip perfection tea and think about how perfect they are.  But even them.... they're really not one-hundred-percent perfect anyway.  You should see them when they get the hiccups!!  do silly dances and sing stupid songs and wear crazy clothes. Buy some crazy jewelry. and be as imperfect as you please and still be a good person.  Good people  are a lot more fun than perfect people any day of the week. You might be perfect. you might know someone that you think is perfect... but the truth is. everyone has their imperfections. You might meet the most gorgeous girl u have ever seen... but trust me, she's not perfect either. But who wants to be perfect anyways?  Heck. If you think you are perfect... please be my friend. Because I have yet to find someone who is perfect. But really. You can strive for perfection.  You can reach your goals. But most likely never perfection. What does the word perfection even mean.. being perfect. haha. Life gives you struggles. And if we were perfect... we wouldnt have struggles. That would be great right?? NOPE. My struggles and my mistakes are what have made me the person i am today. A completely IMPERFECT human being. BUT. with all this to say. There is ONE person that we are perfect to. That is God. Even though we make mistakes and screw up sometimes. God thinks we are perfect just the way we are because we are made in His own image. We are perfect and wonderful and beautiful in God's eyes. But on earth. which is what we live on. we are simply. not perfect. Every girl has something about herself that she doesn't like. Every girl wants to be that "perfect" girl... but really... what girl is actually perfect?! So think about this next time you want to change something about your God given image. NO ONE is perfect. <3

  SO. If I were you. I wouldn't strive for perfection. I would strive do that best in whatever i do. Try my hardest. Jump the furthest. Dance the longest. Sing the loudest..... that YOU can.  And be satisfied with the fact that only God is perfect<3
