Perfection is a Myth
Have you dreamt a perfect life ? I was watching the “Richie Rich” today , I was astonished and delighted seeing all the possessions one could enjoy and experience in life. I had lived in fantasy , appreciating the materialistic luxuries and somewhere even without my knowledge had always believed that these are the basis for a so called “PERFECT LIFE”…
Over time , may be our priorities change and the approach to the way we look at life differs. What was PERFECT till yesterday may have turned out to be of the least importance today and what was considered irrelevant so far turns out to be a value add to our lives.
“IMPERFECTION IS PERFECTION” — Flume
One of my conventional dialogue earlier was ,
“ I do it perfect , if not possible to make it towards perfection , I wouldn’t even want to pick the task in hand”.
All of my friends and family laugh at this dialogue of mine,.. 😁.If I observe the reason of my approach towards an action item , there are certain possibilities that requires analysis.
° The best case is that the outcome is as expected and ranked PERFECT
° A moderate case where the outcome is just above the average
° The outcome has not even managed meeting the average expectations
° The worst case scenario where the outcome is completely opposite to the EXPECTED
If the outcome of the task we’ve done doesn’t meet the expected , possibility of remarks stay strong within.This is what builds resistance from within on picking any new task.I’d been under the impression that the end product is what matters and perfection in the outcome has a profound impact. I would insist doing nothing if I don’t sense the process leading me towards PERFECTION.
With time , life mends our way , those ways which we assumed PERFECT , that PERFECT which is way far from the definition of PERFECTION from another perspective , that PERFECT which starts from the unknown reveals itself in the process to make the outcome better than the best every time. Most of the time , we tend to focus more towards the need of being perfect , may it be career , relationship or any aspect of life. Being PERFECT is absolutely Ok , however not at the cost of losing progress towards the target.Goal oriented perfection in career helps progress few , while on the other side tends to build frustration in case of delays. Why not adopt a progress oriented approach , in which case perfection is the by-product of the sincere , step by step efforts. Progression is better than Perfection which tends to build persistence from within. On similar lines , Perfection in relationships is out of talk . Relationships are meant to be nurtured with Love & Affection , not Perfection. Value, respecting and appreciating the differences gives way for the relationship to grow.
I’m hungry guys …🤐 Do not be surprised if I talk of the MTR delicacies now.
They’ve made our day much easier and tastier 😅 The story starts way back in 1920 when three brothers left their small town of Parampalli. Skilled and Efficient in cooking , they started working as cooks at residences. With continuous efforts of 4 years they made up their minds to begin their own restaurant chain. From a local food store to an international brand it all started with being a BEGINNER , being IMPERFECT , there would have been no chance for them in their SUCCESSFUL JOURNEY if they had been waiting on meeting the PERFECTION.
Perfection lies in starting the journey without knowing where the destiny would take , Perfection is the first imperfect step towards the known or an unknown, the confidence in unlearning , learning and re-learning to be an imperfect beginner as there is no PERFECT END with no benchmark to PERFECTION.
True Perfection is a bold quest to seek. Only the willing and true of heart will seek the betterment of many — Socrates
