The Illusion Of Perfection

The strength to do something lies within. It takes more than willpower and determination to get that task done or to maintain that consistency you have been trying to bring into your life. It has more to do with discipline and the inner desire to get things right.

Perfection is an illusion. It is different for different people. Someone’s imperfection is another person’s absolute bliss and success. Judging or portraying someone for how they succeed in doing certain things in life is irrational. Life is more than quantitative achievements. Contradictory to what you have been told all your life, the best achievement in life is not in how many marks you scored in school or how many subjects you cleared in your college. It is about something other than what college or University you were placed in or in your organization. It is not even in how much more you earn than your competitors. It is in how much life you have lived – how many days you have spent basking in the warmth of your existence. How many lives you have touched through your being alive… how many people you have helped, and how many miracles you have created with your aura.

It is also in how good of a person you are and how much goodness goes around from you. It is in how empathetic and kind you are as an individual. It is in how you treat other people. Goodness, and absolute achievement in life are your characteristics. It is in how good you are when you are by yourself. It is in the spirituality you follow – not necessarily religious – spiritual in the purest form of being morally right. It is in how much love you have within – not lust, but platonic love that heals.

Perfection is a mirage that deceives us into believing that flawless existence is attainable. In reality, embracing imperfection is a liberating choice that allows us to break free from the shackles of unattainable expectations. By accepting ourselves and others with all our flaws and complexities, we pave the way for a more authentic and fulfilling life. Remember, it is in embracing imperfections that we truly find beauty and meaning in this imperfect, yet wonderful world.

In today’s fast-paced and competitive world, pursuing perfection has become a prevalent and unattainable goal for many individuals. We constantly strive for perfection in our careers, relationships, appearances, and various aspects of our lives. The truth is that perfection is nothing more than an elusive illusion.

The illusion of perfection has to be broken. No human in the face of this world is not sad. There is not a single person in the world who has it all right. It is, therefore, unreal and beyond foolish to believe in a world of plastic where people mostly only post about their good times. It is rare for someone to show their authentic self and their real life on social media; hence, it is illogical to live the social media way. It is detrimental to yourself if you believe that perfection is in somebody’s size or a celebrity’s attention from others. It is not about how you look on the outside – because, trust me, anyone can look amazingly stunning with a lot of makeup and an amazing hairstylist! The bigger picture is quite extensive. Going around the entire tree to see the reality isn’t easy. It is, however, not a mystery. It is appealing out there and open for all to understand that little things add up to make the bigger picture. The bigger picture is your true self – healing yourself and the world around us while knowing what life is genuinely all about.
