A Good Fit Is Fair Enough [A Perfect Fit Is A Bonus]

 

Many of us [and I "WAS" one of those in the past] tend to be quite obsessed with that "PERFECT FIT" criterion BUT hold on, that's the ideal one, right?  And more often, the 'ideal one' will take light-years versus WHAT is feasible and realistic, and that's the 'GOOD FIT' thing.  BUT before I get whacked, we're NOT rallying against perfectionism.  After all, I would openly admit from my school days onwards, perfectionism was always my mantra and I CAN'T imagine myself giving up an inch to compromise.  So, you might ask me, am I acting now like a chameleon?  NO sirrrrrs.  I'm NOT abandoning perfectionism BUT in our daily life, the reality is that perfectionism will remain the ideal path BUT WHETHER it's the way to go, take a pulse check if the prevailing circumstances can validate that ideal path as the realistic path💚💛💜

NOW, WHO wants to be significantly happier?  Obviously everyone raises his hand, right?  Those years WHEN I was so uncompromising with perfection, I DIDN'T realize then that it was outdated, subjective and ultimately unattainable so I let that sh** go and dissipate in thin air.  From WHERE I stand right now, I'll openly admit that I am a hundred-fold much happier at far greater peace and in the end, deep inside and out, I can vouch that my current standing was NOT all because of perfection because all along, I was most often less than perfect💥💥💥

So, the $64 question is, IS PERFECTION OUTDATED?  NOW, that's debatable BUT it is important to question WHY that struggle to PERFECTION exists within us in the first place. Likely, you may tend to flash to those external influences from your childhood, perhaps starting from our own church/religion WHERE the pastor says we were born in sin!@#$%?

Besides considering HOW long ago that was, emulating anyone from our own faith and religion quickly becomes archaic WHEN we tend to envision HOW individuality would drastically stifle if everyone strove to be one version of being perfect.  Compare it to someone saying the perfect car is the BMW or Mercedenz-Benz, so all the rest of the car brands should be at the level of those car make BUT sorry, that's crazy, right😡😡😡

Our takeaway:  Let's cut the crap out here.  Much as perfection is the best inspiration and motivation for each of our pursuits, inside out, it is always subjective.  Bottomline, let's pull to a full stop any tendency to measure up for others.  After all, it's you WHO needs to set the bar for yourself, NOT even PERFECTION!!!
