Some time ago I had a discussion with one of my friends that got me to thinking.
For some reason she was quite irritated and frustrated with her life! Thinking about one of our common friends who had almost everything you could desire (or so it seemed!), she told me she wished she could have a perfect life.
This sentence made me wonder what is a “perfect” life?
She said that if she had “such and such” thing her life would be perfect….
And I guess that is what we all think. Don’t we? And when we get “that” and we have a new “such and such” thing that will make our life perfect!
In this cycle of waiting for something we ignore the "right now". How wonderful our lives would be if we realize that our life is NOT ever going to be perfect rather we would have to find perfection in what we already have and start enjoying the moment rather than wanting it to be something else!
Life could be perfect if we could learn to love life while it is too hot outside; there is too much pollution in air or too many mosquitoes around…
There’s something positive in every situation. The trick is to find it.
Lets try making best out of the worst. Let’s not wait for life to be perfect and start celebrating the imperfection!

Amen sista!! Very good. I don't know why people always think the grass is always greener on the other side, when in fact thats not always the case. It might look greener, but most times those people aren't happy either.

I think much of our derived contenment in life comes from our PURSUIT towards that perfect life...the challenges we take upon ourselves and the hurdles we have to endure.
Sure, we know we'll never get it completely, and might not even come close at all, but however BETTER we do make our lives along the way for both ourselves and for others enriches us so damn much as we make our journey.
Very good post.
Stay safe down there.
(and enjoy the rain)
