Imperfection

Imperfection is normal, imperfection is within each and everyone of us. We are all mostly striving hard for every day life, hoping to achieve good things or even the best. It can be really tiring at times. Especially, the perfectionism in me can sometimes cause me to be really shag or dissappointed at myself. Self-expectations are good, but too many expectations can only stress oneself and may reep bad fruits in your life. I just felt that i want to share this with you guys who are feeling weary or tired of striving.

Number 1 - You are NOT ALONE.
 Everyone has their own expectations, worries, fears and doubts. Sometimes, as humans we do forget that the competition is not among us and others, but is the fight within us that constantly battles for our lives. Because of the self-condemnation, self-doubt and enviness, we can be blinded by our true purpose for how we started this battle. For example, if you are aiming to be top in the level , but people are overtaking you and want to compete with you, you may feel the stress and dissatifaction. But trust me, it is not worth a second of your time in competiting strongly against anyone. Personally, i am a competitive individual, who aims very high once i set a goal. I realised many things ranging from studies to reputation, as long as you focused on your own journey and ONLY your own journey without looking at others, you can truly spend the wise amount of time on your goals as it can rob you from the joy during the process.

Number 2- Know yourself well and take PROPER action.
Know your body, mind and health as well as you know about your favourite idols or person.
You need to ensure that you are doing things every day life without neglecting too much of your mental and physical health. There are many cases where people are too overwhelmed by either workload at work or personal issues, they commit suicide or sink into depression. You need to know your limits, do your best to save yourself from the palms of the devil. Personally i think emphasis on personal awareness is EXTREMELY important. Without taking care of your own inner issues,usually can be a great obstruction to your goals and happiness. Therefore, understanding yourself is the primary key to succeeding in life.

Number 3- importance of TRULY accepting imperfections exists in our life like its no big deal.
It is important you tell yourself from time to time, " it is okay, to fail this time.", "It is okay not to be the best" , "It is okay if I am different from others" , "It is okay to forgive myself". Only when you accept the outcome, only then you can really focus on your future goals and forget the pasts. Just like a very young child, by nature they believe in the good in life, they have a simple and forgiving mindset towards themselves. After they burst into tears out of sadness or anger, they can be happy and alright the very next moment. We need to learn to contain a child-like faith, a faith that brings in much more happiness and hope in life.

Number 4- Keep CALM and let go of whatever that is hindering your growth.
Failures and setbacks might make one doubt their skills and ability, or their worth. But, not to forget that you cannot control the people or environment that you are in. But, YOU CAN control your mind, emotions and thoughts as long as you allow to train yourself to take PROPER control. nobody can tell you WHO you are as a person or WHAT is within you. Let me share with you a simple thought that helps me think positively, " Over time, do those negative, temporary situations matter?" What i usually do is to let everything that is unbeneficial to not steal my joy. Nowadays, as each new trial comes ahead,  the time i dwell on negative thoughts or worries keeps on decreasing. It is important to cultivate a habit of positive lifestyle.

I know it can be hard at times to get through trials, but as you feed yourself with positivity, love and joy, many things in you life can fall into place! It just takes time and effort to grow yourself as a person and fill yourself up again! Remember that things can get tougher, but YOU my friend, can GET STRONGER! I believe in all of you readers. You are much more capable and stronger than you ever know.

Hope you guys find this helpful! Lots of love! xo
