Perfection over Perfect

Perfect or Perfection?

Similar words, but can guide your life in wildly different ways.

Perfect is by definition essentially unattainable.

adjective:

conforming absolutely to the description or definition of an ideal type:

Even when something is 99.999%, it’s still technically NOT PERFECT.

Perfection rather allows for grace, accounts for actual life circumstances and encourages setting the stage for magic to happen.

I’d rather be taking steps toward growth and refining my life into my vision rather than going through the motions, or living a life motivated by envy, fear or jealousy.


Of what I don’t have.


Of that my life isn’t enough.


That I’m not enough.


When you live a life of perfection over perfect, you decide what makes your life awesome.


You decide what is the icing on the cake

You decide to let a little magic into your life

When you do this, you’ll get to the end of your life and say what a wild ride, look how far I’ve come, look at how much magic I experienced.

That sounds far better choice than the alternative.
