In Between

In Between

“Who I am is in between what I want to be and what I am….”

There are times when we are all less than perfect. It’s a universal truth in fact, that nobody is perfect. Yet we all still strive to be that way. Why? A struggle to be perfect does nothing but frustrate us when we fail. This is the first part of my plea for the day. Give up on trying to be perfect. We aren’t perfect, we’re human. And quite honestly in my opinion humanity is a much better thing to celebrate than perfection will ever be. “To err is human.” And being human is something that we all have in common and we should take into account when making decisions.

That being said, there is a second part to my plea today, and that is to be better than you are. Nobody is perfect, true, but there is a latent power in all of us to be more than what we currently are. We can all suffer to make some improvements to our lives, even if they are just small ones. This is something that I bring up a lot and something that I hold very near and dear. We are all better than we give ourselves credit for, and we can make this world a better place if we embrace that and strive for the betterment of the world.

Two very conflicting points of though, but still both are very necessary observations that all of us can take to heart and grow from. No I will never be perfect, but I do have the abilities in me to make myself better than the man sitting here today. What steps will you take to make yourself in between perfection and who you are today?
