Perfection
Don't aim for perfection, aim for balance.
Perfection is often desired, constantly elusive, and the source of great suffering. Why? It's unattainable. When it comes down to it, perfection means the cessation of evolution.
When we strive for perfection, our aim is to get to some point where we're done. Nothing left to do, no more growth. In a world where the only constant is progressive change, that kind of perfection is impossible. So, in an ever-evolving world, what's the closest we can get to perfection?
Perfect balance
Moment by moment, our aim is to respond and engage in the most relevant way possible. As each new demand comes our way, we're adaptive, creative, and intelligent enough to meet it in the most frictionless way possible.
True stability lies in adaptability. Rather than hoping for our evolution to cease at some point, let's continue to evolve by meeting every demand that comes our way with perfect balance.
