What is perfection?

last year

Everyone strives for perfection. The perfect job, the perfect body, the one for them, the perfect car, the perfect life. But what exactly is perfection?

I've always been somewhat of a perfectionist. Every single time I do something I want it to be perfect. I don't care whether it's my first time or I've been doing it for a while. It just has to be perfect. I spend so much extra time, fine tuning and trying extra hard to make it perfect. But no matter how hard I try it can't be , and it always hurts when I look at it and it's not what I had in my head. Or When things don't go as I envisioned, it irks me. I can't count the number of times I've spent much more time on things that shouldn't be taking so much time just because I want it to be perfect only for it to still not be perfect in my eyes.

Is perfection a myth? What exactly is perfection?

No one knows. It is just this thing that everyone seems to be trying to achieve. But then, there's no set line for perfection, so what even is it?

Over time I have come to realize that the term perfect is subjective and what I think is imperfect could actually be perfect in the eyes of others, while what I think is perfect could be imperfect in the eyes of others.

I have stopped trying to always be perfect, now I just try to always be the best version of myself that I can be. I am human and humans aren't perfect. We make mistakes and that's part of what makes us human. Can mistakes be perfect? I don't know.

I laid in bed tonight and I looked back on how the day went, and I realized it was nowhere near perfect. There are a lot of things I said I'd do from the start and I wasn't able to do them. I tried, but things happened and before I knew it the day was long gone.

A wise lady once told me,

No one said everyday will be perfect. As long as we keep showing up no matter what. That's all that matters.

With this in mind I've penned down all the things I need to do tomorrow and told myself I am going to get them done no matter what.

I am human after all and humans make mistakes. I'm not perfect. I keep telling myself, but the inner critic in me won't let me rest. I just need to keep him quiet and get some rest, tomorrow will be a busy day, wish me luck 🤞🏾

The best thing about aiming for perfection can be compared to this quote, " Aim for the stars and maybe you'll reach the sky". So trying to be perfect isn't bad because you will definitely arrive at something good. But what's worse is thinking that you will be perfect every day. So just make sure that you move an inch every day to your goals regardless of what is happening around you because it's the tiniest drop that makes up an ocean.

I think we just make use of the word perfection to get to the highest we can.
It's all about aiming to do the best and becoming better by every trial.

Perfection belongs to our creator, so I've always thought about it... We can't achieve it as humans but of course, we can give some extent the perfection title according to what we call fulfillment.

Hmm, fulfillment that's another way to look at it. You're right. Thanks for stopping by your whaleness ;)

Perfection is an imaginary line that doesn't exist in this world. I am saying it an imaginary because nobody can be perfect in their whole life but we all measure everything with it. So trying to be perfect is nothing more than a dream. But we can try to reach near perfection and it's not impossible also.

I keep thinking I've replied this comment but then I check and see that I didn't, lol.

Nothing is perfect, but the thought of perfection keeps driving us to do better. Thanks for stopping by man.

I’m not sure there’s anything like perfection. I mean can we ever be perfect. Do we even really know what we want? I guess contention can be perfect. As far as you’re content, you’re maybe happy and perfect.
