Nothing Is Perfect So Quit Trying… Huh?

This isn’t EXACLTY as it sounds but the title still catches your eye which is exactly what I wanted it to do. Our lives are never going to be perfect and it just hit me as I was approving a comment on my blog from Christine Livingston on my post about if you want success then you need a goal.

I wrote that post because I realised, at least for me, that in order to have success you need to have a goal and actually accomplish that goal. You need to achieve it no matter what. This goes right along with my quote: Success is simple. Success is doing whatever it takes to reach/achieve your goals. Nothing else really matters because it isn’t success. Of course, it is also the ride to getting there that teaches you something but ultimiately getting there means a hell of a lot for when you look back.

• The World Is Round

Life isn’t ever going to be perfect or exactly the way you would like it to be. Why? I have no idea but all I know is that the world isn’t perfect. So how are we all happy and why can we really BE happy if things aren’t ever going to be perfect and we already know this?

Improvement exists… And we’re only human. That’s exactly why. We’re always working harder to make our better selves exist and it’s because we want better and the best for ourselves even though the world is never going to be the best it could possibly be.

Gravity exists and it’s a good thing because the world is round and therefore we’re always up AND down when you look at it that way.

• We’re Human

I really feel this should be said in this section of my post: NEVER just quit trying for something you really feel you should have but understand that you should only quit when you feel things have to be perfect and you can make everything the best. It’s never going to happen, I don’t think. It can always be better, always. That’s exactly why better exists, because of best. We’re always going to make some kind of mistake and be learning from that so understand that you can ALWAYS do better and nothing is EVER going to be perfect and that’s exactly why.

Allow improvement.

• Colors Are Real

I often wonder why colors are what they are. Let me explain. Why is red, red? Why is blue, blue? What makes those colors what color they are? Seriously. I wonder this sometimes and just think, who said pink is pink and not brown and why is it pink and why the name and all sorts of crazy things. We may never know this but it’s fun to think about and understand that colors just are and they are amazing. No I’m not crazy but I think it’s fun to think about this stuff. Again, think about how colors effect you each day and understand that even they aren’t pefect but it doesn’t matter because they’re just plain cool!

• Do Numbers Mean Anything?

This is a bit of a teaser really. Money matters as it helps us live our lives each day. Its’ numbers but it’s also not. How do numbers effect your life? Have you ever counted how many times you use numbers in a day? I bet you’d be surprised, even if you’re not working for some reason. Numbers mean everything and nothing at the same time, in my opinion. You use numbers to get through your day but at the end of the day, what really matters ISN’T the numbers.

• Want It, Need It, Do Something About It

Above all, you have to do this. Want something in your life and then realise you want it badly enough that you feel as though you need it. Then, just do something about it. Sounds simple but far from it. Just make sure you learn as you go and remember to quit thinking it has to all be perfect because the world is never going to be perfect and you CAN’T be perfect simply because there is always going to be better, so THEN keep trying.

So, what does everyone think and feel here? What are you NOT quitting doing or have you already QUIT doing because you realise it’s just not going to be perfect?
