Does everything have to be perfect?



More often than not, we are in the midst of finding ourselves forcing ourselves to be perfect.

The blemish-free skin of the ads, the fat-free body on gym posters, the flawless hair or even cooking
the perfect gourmet dinner as if by magic.

When our minds register for that perfection, there is no doubt that we will push ourselves to achieve that to the best of our calibre.But at what cost?

How often do we want to dig into a chocolate pastry dripping with hot sauce but resisted solely because it was ridiculously rich?

 Not only the calorie uptake, but it would also interfere with the plan of fitting into those skinny jeans.

The life I believe is too short to keep chasing perfection.

No doubt health is vital, however, an occasional indulgence will keep cravings in check too.

Not to mention the satisfaction of this scrumptious dessert.

Everything in life does not have to be like a clockwork.

We are not codes that are programmed to run a certain way and be troubleshot in another.

Our lives are supposed to be a journey of exploration, finding out what we really want and the purpose of what we are here for.

In that process, it is okay to let go of a few whims and let the inner self enjoy what it has been deprived of.

The happiness of life does not lie in looking picture-perfect but making every moment picture-worthy.

Life is too short to waste on chasing perfection while things are admirable the way they look.


Everything in nature is not exemplary and we still continue to love and admire it just the way it is.
