Accepting imperfection while seeking perfection

As we move on in life, we tend to expect perfection into everything. It becomes our default mode, yet it’s seldom available on the life market. 

We need to train ourselves to accept and live with a host of imperfect situations. This perhaps is what makes us appreciate the holy grail that perfection is or could be. 

So, it works like this: We see what perfection should be, we aim for it, work hard for its attainment and hope for the best. If the outcome isn’t quite there, we’ll be willing and ready to settle for less-than-perfect, but we’ll still keep trying. 

At the same time when we experience or see less than perfect objects or situations, we recognize them for what they are and always see the parts or places that could use some tweaks in the direction of perfection. 

All this is perfectly simple.
