Peace with Imperfection

Well I told you I would be back, and here I am! :) Are you a perfectionist? Well the second thing Dr. Carlson talks to us about is making peace with our imperfections. Here are a few things he said:

"I've yet to meet an absolute perfectionist whose life was filled with inner peace. The need for perfection and the desire for inner tranquility conflict with each other. Whenever we are attached to having something a certain way, better than it already is, we are, almost by definition, engaged in a losing battle. Rather than being content and grateful for what we have, we are focused on what's wrong with something and our need to fix it. When we are zeroed in on what's wrong, it implies that we are dissatisfied discontent...." He continues on and says: "The solution here is to catch yourself when you fall into your habit of insisting that things should be other than they are. Gently remind yourself that life is okay the way it is, right now. In the absence of your judgment, everything would be fine. As you begin to eliminate your need for perfection in all areas of your life, you'll begin to discover the perfection in life itself."

Sooo do you think you have the capacity to comprehend what he is talking about? Do you think you will be able to have peace while you are still imperfect? Can you admit it? Try to find some time to think this through, I would love to hear your thoughts....Let me know! :)
