Day 1: What is Perfection?

Do you know what it takes to get to perfection?  Well, YES, everything, every answer, every solution, every possibility has been anticipated, accounted for, and prepared for.  There is and never will be a better solution.  Hopefully, that sounds as absurd as I intended it to be.  There is no such thing as perfection.  By whose standards are we measuring?  Does it meet current social standards, will this level of achieved perfection stand the test of time today and tomorrow?  People evolve all the time, and hopefully for the better.  This means standards, outlook, and, how we understand events work in our lives, change all the time as well.

So if we don’t shoot for perfection, then what should we shoot for?  A level of understanding that acknowledges that in this current time and place, we have achieved a level of satisfaction that exemplifies us, not someone else.  The pursuit of excellence.  In our pursuit of excellence, we need to be proud to progress so that we can place our signature of approval at the bottom.  We are proud of what we see and have done.  Excellence requires a level of “Self-confidence”, and it comes from not comparing our achievements to others' achievements, nor are we trying to work so perfectly that no one else can mimic our ambition.  Personal growth depends on the idea, I can improve myself every time I work, and make mistakes while progressing forward.

​The pursuit of perfection interferes with our own level of improvement but can help us to chase after excellence!
