Perfect idealism, imperfect reality

We all would love to live a perfect life with perfect people, inside a perfect world, but let’s face it, reality reminds us that’s not quite what we’re getting on a daily basis. We seem doomed to live in a world of imperfection, and if we want to thrive, yet alone survive in it, we better accept to live with an abundance of less than ideal circumstances.

In fact, imperfection is like a vaccine, if we take it in stride, it makes us more stronger and much more resilient! That doesn’t mean that our goals and objective can be mediocre; far from it! 

To get something imperfect but good enough, it helps a great deal if our guiding elements are as perfect as we can imagine them. If they’re less than perfect we’re just cheating ourselves and missing out on what life has to offer. 

Anyway, that’s how I’ve always looked at things: Dream big and if the results are a bit eroded from the original vision, we should cherish them anyway. 

You might ask what’s the point to aim for the absolute and hardly ever getting a full return for it? Well, it’s all about, closing that gap, living and getting better as well as keeping a fighting spirit going, so forget about the friction that drags along the way!
