See Perfection...

It is the time of the year to believe in the perfection around us.

I have been nearsighted since many years. The moment I wake up each day, I have to reach for my eyeglasses and will take them off only when I closed my eyes to sleep and I am very uncomfortable to stay without it for even a short period of time.Recently, I came across a book on metaphysics, which stated that physical changes stem from inner decisions we make and “vision” is related to our willingness (or resistance) to see what is happening in our life.So, I have decided to test that theory and shift my attitude to see all things as perfect.

 When I say “perfection” I was of the opinion that it means a rigid, specific standard we meet with no mistakes. Now, my definition is much broader, it is choosing our perception of what is around us, whether it is error-free or NOT!

It’s hard sometimes to see the perfection when we’re struggling for and we’re more focused on what is NOT working than what IS.  We then get more of what we’re focused on, so it is very important to instead find what is working! 

“Perfection”- A disease?

“Perfection" infects every corner of society. It infects our schools, neighborhoods, workplaces. This is not to say that there aren't a lot of genuinely, happy people. There is nothing more beautiful than a person finding true happiness in who they are and what they believe. No, this is not me trying to diminish the happiness in others. This is merely me pathetically attempting to put a face on a problem that I see everywhere but few people ever notice.

In this life, certain actions can be perfected. A baseball pitcher can throw a no-hit, no-run ball game. A surgeon can perform an operation without an error (he have too ;) ). A musician can render a selection without a mistake. One can likewise achieve perfection in being punctual, keeping the Word of Wisdom, and so on. the enormous effort required to attain such self- mastery is rewarded with a deep sense of satisfaction. More importantly, spiritual attainments in morality accompany us into eternity. This does not mean that these people never made mistakes or never had need of correction. The process of perfection includes challenges to overcome and steps to repentance that may be very painful.

Nothing is as perfect as it seems.

We should remember that “I see perfection, and I see perfectly.”!

 That is Perfection as it is...
