WhO Said We Have To Be PERFECT?

 As humans as we are, are we PERFECT?

Some of us may try more, some of us, less; some don't worry too much about being perfect.

In the end, it probably isn't that much about being “PERFECT” but being HUMAN, being a UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL! An individual, part of this big cosmic net we all belong to in our own individuality, but at the same time being all INTERCONNECTED.

We are individuals with GOOD and BAD features, with a superb intellect and/or health, with illnesses and disorders and so on. But it is right there where and what the challenge of life is: If we have weaknesses and we are aware of them, then let us try to overcome them; if we can't, let us try to live with them the best way as possible, never falling into self-pity, that hole is too deep and too dark, and leads us and the ones around us, nowhere.

Instead, why don’t we try to work on ourselves? How? Why not try “scanning” us as objective as possible, to see where and why we are failing, what we may and can improve. I’m sure we can. I don’t subscribe to the saying that –particularly after a certain age– there is no way that a human being is able to CHANGE.

We are always moving between good and bad, happiness and sadness, good and bad temper, mood swings. We have to accept this as part of our own individuality. Once we accept it, we will be more able and willing to correct and change for better, whatever we want and can. So don’t judge others by your own thoughts. They are living a different life than you are. What might be good for one person may be bad for another. What might be bad for one person might change another person's life. Allow people to make their own mistakes & decisions, because we learn and grow with each decision and/or mistake that we make...but again, what might be a mistake for you may be a blessing for someone else

We don't have to be perfect; we just have to be us, because there is no such thing as a perfect person or life. But we can always try to grow and improve through our own paths of life. We all have something that another can learn from. We should always see “the glass half full, not half empty”. And last but not least, never do to do others what we wouldn't want others to do to us.

Let us live for today, love for tomorrow and give one another a chance before giving up!

IF

 If you can keep your HEAD when all about you 

Are LOSING theirs and BLAMING it on you; 

If you can TRUST yourself when all men DOUBT you, 

But make ALLOWANCE for their doubting too; 

If you can WAIT and not be TIRED by waiting,

Or, being LIED about, don't deal in lies,

Or, being HATED, don't give way to hating, 

And yet don't look too GOOD, nor talk too WISE; 

If you can DREAM - and not make dreams your MASTER;

If you can THINK - and not make THOUGHTS your AIM; 

If you can meet with TRIUMPH and DISASTER 

And treat those two IMPOSTERS just the same; 

If you can bear to HEAR the TRUTH you've spoken 

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your WINNINGS 

And RISK it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, 

And LOSE, and start again at your BEGINNINGS

And never breath a word about your LOSS; 

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "HOLD ON";

If you can talk with CROWDS and keep your VIRTUE, 

Or walk with KINGS - nor lose the COMMON TOUCH; 

If neither FOES nor loving FRIENDS can hurt you; 

If all men COUNT with you, but none too much; 

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
