Free Yourself


It is good to remember that one of our goals in life is to be perfect. We often lose track of this aspiration. When we make mistakes, we think that we are failing or not measuring up. But if life is about experimenting, experiencing and learning, then to be imperfect is prerequisite. Life becomes more interesting once we let go of our quest for perfection and aspire imperfection instead.

Many of us are in the habit of trying to be perfect. One way to nudge ourselves out of this tendency is to look at our lives and notice that no one is judging us to see whether or not we are perfect. We are adults now, and we can choose to let go of the need to perform for someones's approval. Similarly, we can choose to experience the universe as a loving place where we are free to be imperfect. Once we realize this, we can begin to take ourselves less seriously and have more fun. Imperfection is inherent to be being human. By embracing our imperfection, you embrace yourself.
