Perfection hmm. That is a lot to ask of any mortal.

Although she would be the first to deny it, were she alive I would choose my soulsister Leah who passed away 2 years ago.

She was always there for anyone who asked for advice, wise and thorough. Her spiritual depth and insight, as well as her overview of any situation, was awesome. She was a healer of bruised spirits. Her laughter rang like a clear bell so delightful and contagious. She was always clear with a minumum of words.
She could give comfort without a sound, leaving you at peace.

She fought insidious illnesses for years with a strong smile and few ever saw her tears. Many times she almost died but always she smiled. Only once did she break down to me, after my husband, her brother, was taken from us without warning. She kept her problems to herself and knew how to keep any confidence she was given.

Few ever felt her wrath, but when they did, they knew they had been blasted with elegance and the crystal sharpness of a diamond. No name calling for this woman, she was above this. She had other ways of making her feelings clear.

She had one of the hardest lives imaginable, but she never complained, ever. Her ethics were beyond reproach.

She could take anyone who felt soul pain to the point of dysfunction and put them back on their feet again, strong and whole. Including me, more than once. It was one of her greatest strengths and many loved her for it.

Even just writing this brings a sharp pang of missing her.

There is no perfection in humans because each culture has it's own image of perfection. So even if someone was concidered 'perfect' in one sociaty, they could be consiered the oposite on the other sie of the world.

The Dalai Lama is close to perfection because he knows, whereas I have to ponder the outcome or the consequence of each of my actions.

My ex-husband used to think he was perfect; personally, I leave perfection to Jesus Christ, and strive to do the very best I possibly can, since Perfection is a goal no mortal will ever attain.

I don't really think people can be perfect. I think we just do the best we can. I really loved Pope John Paul II though. He was just a wonderful leader and I really believed he truly did the best he could.

At the risk of sounding egotistical, me! Of course I am nowhere near perfection, no one is, but of the people that I know personally I'm the closest to it...

Physically I am the most fit, healthy. I am not overweight. I have no unhealthy habits or addictions. I don't smoke, drink or do drugs & never have. I don't overeat.

Financially, I am in great shape as well. I bought a beautiful detached house on my own. I am very responsible about paying my bills. I'm very organized. I'm very good with money. I don't live beyond my means like most people do. I'm not in debt. I got scholarships in school so I don't have student debt. I never used the line of credit that was offered to me. I'm very responsible. Most people I know are in financial trouble of some sort. Drowning in debt.

Emotionally I'm in pretty good shape as well. I have my issues. I'm honest about my emotions & not afraid to show them. I'm able to express myself. I don't stifle or deny my feelings & then develop ulcers. I have healthy outlets for my emotions (art & music for example.)

Intellectually I have done very well. I am well-educated & won several awards & medals throughout my schooling.

Spiritually I am healthy. I believe in God. I have a love of nature & beauty. I have learned to love myself & understand the meaning of life & the key to happiness.

Socially, I am independent & don't need other people to exist. Yet I have close relationships with people that matter. I don't spread myself thin. I don't need to surround myself with people to feel I have a sense of worth. I have a few people that I love & trust. My relationships are quality not quantity. I am strong enough on my own that I don't need to hide in a crowd.

Everyone has their issues. I know mine & am willing to work on them. I have been negative since birth (my first word was no!) I spent much of my life hating myself & not feeling good enough. This pushed me to try harder. My need for perfection nearly drove me mad until one day I decided to cut myself some slack. I realized, wait a minute, I'm not doing too badly at all! Actually I'm doing pretty well! I'm the only person I know who's not addicted to something poisonous. I'm the only one I know who graduated at the top of her class & excelled at everything she attempted. I've realized I'm not bad at all. I've learned to love myself. Not because I'm the best or trying to be the best, but because I have worth as a person no matter what. I can be proud of my accomplishments. I'm the most daring person I know. I've travelled to Europe. I climbed a mountain. I've had poems published. I've been on tv & the radio. I've been on the front of the newspaper. I've written hundreds of songs, thousands of poems. I've created hundreds of paintings, shown them & sold some. I've had the guts to go after my dreams & risk failing.

I acknowledge my weaknesses & celebrate my strengths. I don't let fear control my life. I force myself to take risks to grow as a person.

Yay me!

(Gheesh now I sound like I have a huge ego & it's actually pretty small! I spent much of my life without an ego. This self-love thing is relatively new to me. It's a healthier way to live...)
