Finding Neverland
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Ralph Waldo Emerson (American Poet, Lecturer and Essayist, 1803-1882)

By Being Us…

 

Faultlessness… excellence… precision… perfection…

 

As good as they may sound … for me all I can hear is:

 

Walking on the edge…Collapsing… falling down down… hitting the bottom…

 

It is so strange how people keep torturing themselves with perfection! I absolutely have no clue regarding the reasons behind it!!! I mean, why be perfect? Why lead a perfect life? Why be the perfect husband? Perfect daughter? Perfect friend? Perfect employee? Perfect mother? Really, why this obsession? Why be so serious regarding that?

 

It is so bizarre how people can actually take it to a level were they lie and actually believe it!!! For those whom actually are put in such a situation, I feel sorry for them…they are fooling the world… but I am sure when they put their heads on the pillows, they will be taken to another reality by the internal echo that is heard only by them…and this is a persecute …

 

I am not trying to sound like a happy-go-lucky human being, because I am not that careless… I do sometimes push myself so hard to get what I want, or at least try… But, I don’t think I have ever pushed myself to the extent were I lost what makes me ME…

 

From my point of view, you don’t have to pretend that you have it all while you don’t…nobody actually does, if we want to be accurate…  There is always this lost piece of the puzzle which can't be found or be completed… So, the case isn’t about the completed picture… It is how you train yourself on how you look at it… and how to accept the messing piece…

 

To make the long story short, I do believe is that we all can be perfect by being the best we can be… by being us… not by having everything settled between our joint hands…

Well said,
perfection is being ourselves and not imitating anybody else's personalities or seeking an unattainable level of perfection, cause as we were discussing in our last call sweetie, mistakes are the master of human kind most of the times :)

perfection is something kind of impossible to acheive but the way i see it, you have to aspire for perfection not to an obsession stage, but to the level that gets u to give the best you can.

pretending to be perfect is a totally different issue that i find sickening :)
