Seeking Perfection
You are not here to seek perfection, it is impossible to attain. It is the ego that is always comparing and never satisfied with things as they are. It is a sense of unworthiness that makes you seek to always gain new recognition, to be more than, or better than those around you. I am not saying that you should not strive to be the best you can, that you should not take advantage of all the opportunities offered you but I am asking you to see yourself as perfect just the way you are, no matter what your level of experience, status, life condition or station. The old way was to judge yourself and others by the standards established by those in power or control or by the popular beliefs of mass-consciousness. It’s time to stop judging with the mind or intellect and to start viewing others through a filter of love and compassion.
You cannot ignore any of the components or any facet of physical expression. You ignore or abuse your body and it begins to break down and atrophy. If you ignore your mind, you remain ignorant or begin to stagnate and lose interest in life. If you ignore your emotional needs, you begin to feel unloved and lonely. Your energy will be used to create your desires and you will be much more effective. Maintain an inner focus of serenity and self-control rather than an outward focus of being controlled by events and the emotions of others.
Be wary of anyone who wishes to take away your power or assume authority over you.
To the degree you love yourself, you will accept love from those around you.
The secret of change is to focus all your energies, not on fighting the old, but in building the new.
Concerning anything that you feel is keeping you stuck, ask yourself:
What is the real fear behind this issue?
What needs do I have or feel that are not being met?
What am I doing or thinking that creates disharmony in my life?
How can I change my behavior or thoughts to create more harmony in my life?
A change in behavior quickly leads to a change in attitude.
Have an attitude of gratitude daily and you will be amazed.
