Perfection

What an elusive concept. Something many of us strive for, but we will never achieve. By our very nature, we are HUMAN. We have flaws. We make mistakes. We will never be perfect. Perfection is a standard, that if we measure orselves, or the people around us against, we will come up disappointed every time.

What does it mean to be happy? I think it means we understand our own strengths and limitations and embrace them. We look at the things we can live with, and try to change those things that we cannot. We are all works in progress, and as we move through life, we, as people, are in constant evolution. Refining our ideals, improving ourselves, constantly evaluating different aspects of our lives in order to make our lives happier, fuller, more evenly balanced.

Happiness is a goal that can be achieved. Perfection is not.
