The "Nobody's Perfect" Epidemic

A disease has seemingly swept the land that is keeping everyone in a state of emotional illness which has spread under the name of I’m-not-perfect-tia.

That was a joke, but it can ring true to an extent.

It has been easy for all of us to stay within the confines our imperfection, but for many of us, the time has come to be released.

We all connect on the fact that we are imperfect, but should this keep us from striving for perfection?

We are all born with flaws, and I’m not speaking only on physical flaws, I’m speaking about character flaws as well. There has been plenty of uproar about self-love and acceptance. And as far as looks go, yes, love what you have and work with it, but if this phrase begins to tread into your character then there needs to be some serious reflection and reconstruction.

Let me be clear: Your character and your character flaws are two separate things. We all have different preferences and ways of doing things and that is what makes up our character. But people should never accept your character flaws to the point where you become content in your mess. Those who you trust and love should be actively working with you to remove those things.

Many people use “I’m not perfect” as an excuse to remain in a vegetative state. If you are forever in a stagnant state of being then that must stink to those who are forever evolving.

We should ALL forever be evolving, educating ourselves on various topics. We should never believe that we have all the answers and that we are perfect just the way we are in terms of character, that is.

You must be careful not to let this “I’m not perfect” movement become the phrase you base your life upon. Never believe you have reached oasis.
