PERFECTLY IMPERFECT

I have always struggled with anxiety, perfectionism and not feeling good enough. I have read tons of self help books and presently I am reading:

"To want what doesn't exist and not to want what exists, not to want the reality of the "now" that you have, is a formula for suicide. If this reality, as it is, is not enough for you, if you feel that you deserve more than this entire universe can summon up at any given moment, then check yourself out in the mirror for a halo around your head.

Acceptance of what is isn't passivity. Acceptance of wha is means an active engagement with reality. Accept that whatever exists right now is beyond improvement and therefore as perfect as it can be. And, if you think you need to, try to change what is yet to be. As you do so, accept the results of your efforts as the best that you can do. Repeat the cycle of acceptance and change on an as-needed basis.

Look to the next moment and change the future."
