Today, I am wondering just how "perfect" any of us thinks we are...and what would make anyone think they are perfect?
Within the past 6 months questions have risen in my life that question who I really am...not questions I have been asking...but questions from another...and it has caused me to wonder if anyone can live up to another's standards...Is anyone or anything perfect? and what makes us believe that our answer is the right answer for someone else? Do we really have any right to tell someone else how they should act or respond? How they must do things in order to fit into our world...and if they do not live up to our standards of perfection than they can not be a part of our life...
We have all done things that may have hurt others...most of the time it is done unintentionally...but if we are not made aware of it at the time we cannot explain or apologize for something that hurt someone else...and when you hold on to that you begin only to look at the negative that is going on around you...is anyone so "perfect" that they can truly tell another how to act...how to talk...what to do...or how to do it???
This "perfection" is teaching me a great deal...I know that I cannot live up to anyone's standards...and no one can promise that they will do everything right according to another...we each must follow our own path...
I know more now about myself than I use to...I have more strength and courage than I have had in more than 45 years...I know I have made mistakes along this path...but I am finally allowed myself to learn from my patterns...and I realize that some things that may be hurting me at the moment will eventually turn themselves around...That there will be losses in my life but if I allow myself time to grieve them I will be left with the joy of the memories...everything that happens in our life helps us to grow...
I know I will get through all of this and be stronger and wiser than before...and I know that nothing in life is perfect...and certainly I hope to always be a work in progress...learning as I go along...and loving the best way that I can...
So...how perfect are you?
