Stop fighting with everything...struggling to look perfect, act perfect, perform perfect...striving in vain and only to find out that what I thought was perfect is actually not real and never will be (now THAT's enough to drive someone mad). This shift could save my life!
No more hiding in the shadows...behind something I think I ought to be. Waiting for the day that I have arrived. This is it! If you're here living and breathing, you already have arrived...you are exactly and perfectly where you need to be, but you need to accept this for today...don't deny it...don't deny yourself of where you are...or letting another day pass where you're searching and striving for something other than here and now. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try new things and listen to where your heart...the whisper of your Creator... is telling you where to go, but it does mean that in the midst of the changing and moving forward you appreciate where you are right here and now.
The thing is that the essence of life is that it's always in motion, always changing...your perfection today will change tomorrow to become a new perfection...it's not static...and that is how it should be.
We all have different experiences, live in different ways...I know it can feel messy and hard. But one thing we have in common is the human experience...living in a body...living within the constraints of time and space. These are the parameters our perfection exists in on earth. So go easy on yourself...and go easy on your neighbour. Know you are staring at someone in their perfection for today. It won't always look like yours, but embrace the diversity in the landscape...the heart-scape. Because an open heart - right here, right now - is a perfect one...
