| Do
not wish to be anything but what you are,
and to be that perfectly. |
|
– St. Francis De Sales |

A minister friend of mine once told me,
"On the seventh day God rested."
He said, "It is good and very good."
Then we come along and try to improve on
perfection. The most
damaging habit we have is trying to be
who and what we are not. We expend
so much energy trying to fix who we are,
we rarely get to really know ourselves.
If we truly realized how precious the
gift of life is, we would not waste a
moment trying to improve it. If we
really understood how precious we are to
the gift of life, we would not waste
time trying to fix ourselves. It's
not about what we look like or what we
have. It's not about fixing our
face, body or lives. It's about
taking what we have and doing as much as
we can with it. It's about
learning and growing. When we are
willing to learn what we don't know and
use our experiences, our perfection will
begin to show. |
