Don’t wait a lifetime for something that was only meant for a season. Sometimes we wait for that perfect moment where everything falls into place, or we get a sign to move forward at once. That moment may never come because we live in an imperfect world, with imperfect people and we’re always creating ourselves anew everyday. Danny G.
A Purpose from the Start
Why do you feel unworthy because you haven’t achieved a state of perfection? Do you believe God wouldn’t have a purpose for you if he created you? Do you think God created you to be perfect? God created you to enjoy the physical experience you know as life. He created you because he knew the unique soul that you are had a purpose from the start. Danny G.
Treading the Path
Don’t make anyone your God, as we’re all imperfect beings with flaws, weaknesses, and trials. Accept everyone has a story and a reason for being, as we’re all humans trying find our way. Never put anyone on a pedestal for one day they’ll disappoint you, as we’re all humans treading the path of imperfections. Danny G.
Destined to Rise
We cannot perform perfectly every moment of everyday. Don’t beat yourself up for where you are today, as you are molding yourself anew every day. You are a product of your creation, the good, the bad, and the uniqueness that makes up the whole of who you are. There’s not one person on this planet that doesn’t fall. What makes us great, is we get up and create a masterpiece on a white canvas destined to rise. Danny G.
No Limitations
If God created the cosmos at the utmost perfection, can there be any limitations to his power? The God who created the cosmos created you, resides in you, and he also resides in every particle in the universe. When you consider his magnitude, why should your utmost prayer be unanswered? The only impossibility starts with I can’t, so next time you’re in doubt, your prayer should start with I can! Danny G.
Quote for Today
You were never meant to fix something that was never broken to begin with. Danny G.
Seek the Journey Not Perfection
Seeking perfection, essentially, is saying the destination is more important than the journey. It can be described as going on vacation, and telling yourself, I can’t wait to check this vacation off my list. Is perfection ever achieved? How fun is perfection, and never having anything to work towards? Do you say, I can’t wait to achieve the exhilaration of perfection? Or do you say I can’t wait to dive in and explore and experiment? Sometimes, we have delays, detours, and surprises, but if we look deeply, they all lead us back to home. What is exhilaration? A life of perfection or a life of challenges and triumphs continually evolving to new heights. Danny G.
The Exhilaration of the Journey
The exhilaration of a journey is figuring it out along the way. If you’re perfect, or your life is perfect, or the world is perfect, there would be no point of a journey, hence, there would be no expansion, and no reason to thrive. Don’t condemn uncertainties, or doubts, as they are merely stepping-stones to discover yourself, your path, and ultimately your destiny. Danny G.
Acceptance and Imperfections
I believe actions have consequences and we are to be the best version of ourselves and do good unto others. However, believing that we’re not worthy because we haven’t achieved a state of perfection would be denying or forsaking God’s own creation. Danny G.
Perfection
Why seek perfection rather than the joy of the journey? Every journey has obstacles allowing us to discover our inner self and grow. There can be many different opinions of perfection concerning topics of spirituality and religion. For some people, perfection could mean staying strong and steadfast during times of adversity and making the right choices despite all odds. Perfection can mean being your best every day, or as the biblical saying, by being a child of God, you already are perfect.
Achieving perfection has become the primary aim for many people. Once they realize the task is impossible, they give up, and lose any hope of a compassionate God who loves them as they are and accepts their current state of being.
Many religious folks believe they need to achieve perfection for approval and favour. Others believe perfection is never achieved, and that they’re on a trial to prove their worthiness or righteousness. They have an image of God, outside of them, who’s standing beside them judging or punishing them for their behaviour. Is that a compassionate father? Saying God is an outside force is basically leaving all the power to him rather than leaving the power to us through God.
I believe actions have consequences and we are to be good citizens and do good unto others, but to believe that we’re not worthy because we haven’t achieved a state of perfection, would be denying God’s own creation. If you believe there is a God, then the saying is, he created you as you are for a reason. He knows every other mistake you will ever make until you leave this time space reality. What do you have control over, other than being who God created you to be?
What difference can you make if you’re resentful and angry at yourself for every poor choice you have made throughout this lifetime? Can a resentful angry person have any advice to give? If he does have advice, can he be a positive influence?
Aren’t you more influential when you know God loves you as you are because he created you as you are? Aren’t you more influential when you know the universe is conspiring on your behalf, regardless of where you currently stand? Wouldn’t you rather take advice from someone who’s still treading along the pathway of imperfection, completely aware of it, and who knows the universe is on his side despite his weaknesses?
A few words which sums up the life of today: “We’re not perfect, life and the world isn’t perfect.” So many people fight against this very simple notion that is our reality.
Is there an individual on this planet who is perfect, or has a perfect life, and has nothing to work at improving in his or her life? Everywhere we go on this planet, there is some type of conflict and it doesn’t matter how beautiful something seems to be, there is imperfection and contrast everywhere we go.
Can life be perfect and can everyone be the same? Even when we think we acquired perfection, we experience changes and we have something else to strive towards and new challenges to undertake. How thrilling is it to know everything, to have everything figured out and to have nothing to work at improving or moving towards in our lives?
If everyone was the same in the world and all nations were the same and there wasn’t any contrast, what would be your reference point? How do you define yourself? If you were standing in a state of completion and you were perfect, would you feel a yearning to experience and become more than who you are?
Where you currently stand is the platform where you decide what you want to include into your life and what you want to exclude out of your life, and without contrast or challenges, you wouldn’t have the platform to begin your journey.
Next time you’re frustrated at yourself, or next time you’re frustrated at life for its imperfections, just know this is your platform to create the change you want in your life and the world.
You are an extension of God, creating through God, through the unique soul that you are. Know that your power starts with your thoughts, your words, and your every deed to change your life and the world one step at a time.
