Perfection Does Not Exist

 Let's put a dent in that word perfection right now!

Perfection simply does not exist, I find my self sometimes looking and waiting for the perfect situation. The truth is that the perfect situation does not exist. There is solace in knowing that everything will work out the way it's suppose to be and at the end of the day. I have spent so much time looking for the perfect situation, the perfect timing and the perfect opportunity. Life does not happen on my timing and sometimes that is a hard pill to digest. I live in a microwavable society, where everything has to happen right here and right now. It's even more prevalent now because of social media, everyone wants to paint the perfect picture to make it look like everything happens overnight. It's all just a fantasy, things aren't perfect plain and simple. Let me give you an example. I can think back to a couple years ago, I moved into my new home. It was around Christmas time, I put up my Christmas tree and had the gifts neatly laid out and I snapped a picture to celebrate the moment. I then posted that same picture on social media, everyone commented how beautiful everything was. What they did not know is that the rest of my house was a wreck with boxes everywhere. On top of that I was tired and hungry. What I had done was cleared out the best corner in my home but the fireplace to put my Christmas decorations, from the picture no one could know that. 

I say all this to prove, that perfection does not exist. What I thought were perfect situations and opportunities were not. Every good thing have it's own challenges, even though there will be push backs in life it does not mean that it is the end of the world. The search for a perfect situation simply does not exist, Even when I encounter something good there is always a challenge that arises. Life is truly a journey and not a destination. What do I mean by this? There is not an arrival or destination point where perfection is. Happiness and contentment is something to strive for daily, it does not exist in a particular destination. 

I am learning about life and I am able to be introspective and learn life lessons. Also Learning from my mistakes is important.There is no perfect person or situation, I am here to learn and grow; In the process hopefully leave some sort of legacy for my family. Perfection does not exist,  and so I will not give myself a headache trying to figure it out. I am learning as I go and doing the best that I can, that is all I can commit to.
