Fortnight ago, I sat down to figure out certain things which for a very long time has become more of disturbances within me that I could even describe if asked to do so. Within this very short time of deep thoughts and self search, one thing that kept resounding within my inner most man which I deem necessary to share with the world was “Life; we are far from perfection”.
The resounding of this phrase brought me so much peace and calm and led me into this place where I realized how true this was; thus decided to give up on any move that will bring about the very convictions that I have to be perfect in my daily living and dealings. Giving up was not because I see myself as a coward or as someone who could not face the very truths of life; rather giving up meant taking a new path that will bring happiness and perpetual rest of mind because this life is not only about the very little things that makes our day; it includes those very big things too which if we throw the perfectionist mind-set at will turn life for us into total boredom which leads us into that very path where ends meets up with pains. Not leaving out the regrets which are always accompanied by the “had I known syndrome”.
Personally, this has now made me to a greater extent believe that truly life is not only a lesson but a teacher as well because if it weren’t, then all humans would have been created into perfection or better still grow into perfection as they grow into old age but this is totally wrong because even a child of today might as well be more into life than a man or woman who has lived life for a long time; Hence, life is truly a lesson. Life is truly a lesson because it offers us the very truths that we must face and each time we neglect these truths life itself turns into something we cannot describe even when given a million years to do so.
Therefore for a better world, life must be lived with this understanding “LIFE: WE ARE FAR FROM PERFECTION”.
JOIN ME AS WE TAKE THIS RIDE INTO GETTING RID OF ALL CONVICTIONS THAT “THE HUMAN DAILY LIFE MUST BE LIVED CHASING PERFECTION WHICH IS A TOTAL ILLUSION”.
