TO REACH PERFECTION
If you're trying to reach perfection, be prepared to try forever.
Perfection isn’t a place, or a destination, or a goal.
That’s a myth.
That doesn’t exist.
You’re on a long road to nowhere.
And yet, perfection does occur.
It occurs every day in fact...
It’s in the moments, the minutiae, the everyday.
It’s that feeling when your beloved snuggles in and two souls become one.
It’s the love in a fleeting look that says, ‘I got you’.
It’s the table filled with food, family, friends and laughter.
It’s the achievement of another battle fought and survived.
It’s the smiling eyes that look like your own and those who went before you.
It’s the knowledge that you can, no matter what.
It’s a safe roof over your head on a stormy night.
There is no such thing as a perfect life my friend, there are only perfect moments in every day.
The real worry, is a life spent chasing perfection when actually, it’s passing you by.
In all the little moments, right here, right now.
