Not Being Perfect...

Yesterday, I noted about not having so much ego about my ability to do therapy... I'll comment more here later today on that. I wanted to share one of the insights about perfection.

It doesn't exist.

Every person you meet will be better at something (their thing) than you are. 

Whoa... think about that.

Whether they're really great at a certain game... you never really played that game. Or, they are great at doing their eye makeup... I haven't really worn much eye make-up (though I have done some theater work... not the best.) 

Maybe they excel at a skill you'd really like to have.

You might be jealous...

Maybe they are wildly successful and financially doing well.

You might wish for their wealth or success...

But, let's face it, we each have our strengths. 

Me, feeling confident as a therapist and healer doesn't make me perfect in other areas of life.

So, do you want to focus your life around your weaknesses or around your strengths? You can still learn and grow in those other areas.

No one's perfect!

The person you just met is better at something than you are. You can engage them in something that requires that talent... you could learn from them... you could appreciate and admire them...

The reverse of this is also true... you are better at something than every other person you meet. Even someone excelling in your current field of study might not be as good as you are singing.

It's not a competition.

So, go and be excellent.
