This “Moment of Awesomeness” post is to briefly discuss the concept of “Perfection”, and what that means to some people.
CrossFit Lisbeth’s post from yesterday (12/15) on Perfection states: “Because, I figure if I aim for perfection, maybe I’ve got a chance at getting to “pretty damn good.”
That’s just like Les Brown’s quote: “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it you will land among the stars.”
A pretty positive message I think, and it helps people realize that forward progress in life can be just as gratifying (and maybe more realistic!) than achieving “perfection”. A lot of times perfection is something we think we need to reach. My goal is to always be: “Better than yesterday”. That means that you’ve worked hard, and improved an area of your life; hopefully helping to make you become a more well-rounded human being. Does that sound familiar to any of you? The desire to strive to be the most well-rounded at things?
So why all this build-up? Because as much as any of us may TRY to be as perfect as the man in the video below… it won’t happen. I’m sorry. But that’s ok! As long as you TRY, you’ll be better today than you were yesterday… and that’s something to be proud of.
