I Am Not Perfect

For whatever it's worth, I believe we're born imperfect, and perfection, whatever that may be, is unattainable by us mere humans.

Perfection is an illusion. I learned to allow myself room to make mistakes and permission to be happy regardless of outcome. Imperfections don’t make something ugly. I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting. We are all wonderful, beautiful wrecks. That's what connects us--that we're all broken, all beautifully imperfect. I really believe that it is honesty about our imperfect selves that makes everyone do better and be better.

Can you imagine how boring our life's could be if everyone was perfect? In fact, that's the beauty of many things..that we are not perfect...

@ili1981 True. Perfection is not for this life.

Haaa .... yes. We are the sum of our imperfections and contradictions.

Lacking perfection makes forgiveness so important.
