Yes!
Every life is perfect. There is no such thing as an imperfect life.
Chaos, disorder, and confusion are only illusions.
Everything is well ordered. There are no victims.
Life is not meant to be a struggle. It should flow with effortless ease and simplicity. The universe is benevolent. All things can, and will, work together in perfect harmony to lift and bless you.
I could say my life is full of love, excitement, peace, good fortune and things most people only wish for, and almost everyone will not believe it.
However, it remains fact. I have a very good life. Nothing goes wrong. Most people would consider it perfect or nearly perfect.
I am not blessed or special or holy. I simply follow proven guidelines that produce positive results and they have nothing to do with religion. I believe anyone can do it.
Although I am a Buddhist, I have studied other faiths and philosophies extensively. In the Christian scripture, Jesus says, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God..."
A little later he says, "The kingdom is within YOU."
How amazing is that?
So where should we look for that kingdom again?

How would you know if you found it?
Perfection is a difficult thing to achieve, let alone maintain. There is so much in the world/universe that is outside of our control that any constructed perfect life is bound to be disrupted in some way. As a result, it is not a logical thing to seek. Why seek a perfect life if the perfection cannot be sustained.
As well, perfection is subjective. What 5 people will claim as the "perfect life" is likely to be different. The desire to have perfection is the inabilty to deal with imperfection. Overall, I don't do well with perfectionists. I can never live up to their expectations. They are always disappointed with me for something. Perfectionists are rarely happy.

It really depends on what you define as being perfect. The perfect life for one person might not be so perfect for a different person. Unless, you're asking about the utopian type of perfect life. In either case, no I don't think it's quite possible. Perfect is just so unattainable. Granted, it's something to strive for. You can get close to perfect. But perfection in all its entirety is always just a few steps out of reach, no matter how many roads you travel.

1-Read The Law of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks
2- Watch The Secret Behind The Secret.
3-Watch What The Bleep Do We Know, the extended version.
4-Start experimenting with the info learned from the above and in less than a year you won't believe the new-found perfection of your life.
5-Share the wealth of information with whoever asks for it.
Cheers!

Besides, even if you did have a perfect life, it would totally suck. You would never be sad, or mad, or any of those "imperfect" emotions. However, that is really determined by your definition of perfect. Other than emotions, not everything in life will go the way you want it to, so you can never really have a perfect life.

Your life is already as perfect as it gets because its basically what you have made it from the beginning and what you'll make of it in the future. Your actions determine most of how you want your life to be..

The quest is always possible. What will be the end result is difficult to predict. Our Utopean dream lives on.

nope.perfect life means your whole life from beginning to end is perfect.
even before you understand about this stuff, when you were a kid, you would have sinned, lied and stuff.
so it's not possible.
P.S. Even if it's a white lie, or a small lie, no matter how small, your life would not be perfect anymore.

I don't agree with the first answerer.
You can consider your 'life' to be present tense.
But I do agree that you cannot have a perfect life.
You can get what you want, all of it, and still want more, better, faster, complete.
You can figure out the rest of what I want to say with a bit of common sense.
Goodbye.
