It’s Not Perfection its
Direction we need to achieve our goals
Life is a journey and in the
journey there could be multiple path to reach that destination. There are so
many roads which go to Rome but it’s up to us which road we take and reach the
destination. So when we want to achieve something in life we are not looking
for perfect road what we look for is direction which road to take.
There are two kind of people in
the world, one who believe perfection exist and one who believe Perfection
does not exist. I am on the later side.The reason being, the definition of perfection keep changing with time. As
our life changes, our desire, perception and thought process also changes and
so changes the definition of perfection. So for me perfection is an illusion. I
believe in getting the things started and fine tune them. This can be done by
taking directions from people who are already into that field.
As human beings we always want to
take minimal risk in doing the things. That’s why we always try to achieve
perfection so that when we start there is no chance of failure. But if we keep
thinking to achieve perfection before starting then there are chances that you
will never start. Rather than perfection if we look for directions then we can
get started and on our journey, we can be efficient and excellent what so ever
we plan to do.
“I am careful not
to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection
is God's business.”
We look for perfection as we are
afraid of making the mistakes. Remember, things which you see perfect today are
started with imperfection. In the path people made mistakes corrected them and
went there way for perfection. So it’s important to get started and to get
started we need direction where to go and how to go. But just direction is not
enough, the most important factor is to believe in yourself. If you are
confident and have courage to do what you want to do then success is not far
away from you.
Once you have direction then comes
trial. You have the idea what path you have to take, now it’s your turn to try
out things. There may be some failures, something might work and something
might not work. So you have to keep trying and on your way of trying things out
you will understand the dynamics how to make things work out. Always start with
small and if things work out you can fine tune them.
“There are two
things we should always be 1. raw and 2. ready. When you are raw, you are
always ready. Waiting
for perfection is not an answer, one cannot say "I will be ready when I am
perfect" because then you will never be ready, rather one must say "I
am raw and I am ready just like this right now.”
