I read today a nice article by Shannon Crane and I want to share it with you. It's about peoples' need to achieve perfection that leads to many insecurities and disappointments. We are not perfect, we are humans and we have to make mistakes in life, we have to learn from them and we cannot please everyone, we are not perfect. Sometimes is best just to best self and simply be happy and enjoy life. Let the author of the article speak for herself:
"I’ve realized it’s so easy for me to get caught up in this idea that I need to be perfect. If I only drink enough green smoothies, go to yoga class, and chant an hour each day, then I can be happy. However, the minute I skip some part of this self-imposed regimen, I beat myself up and feel like a total failure. Life is about slumbering and awakening. It’s about falling off the wagon, the exercise routine, the diet, the spiritual practice. Anyone who appears to always be perfectly aligned is most likely not being fully authentic. We are human, and this is what being human means." ~Shannon Crane
