Perfection

So I've been thinking on "perfection" a lot lately; I guess you could say it's mostly because I'm trying my best to be a musician.

As a musician I am practicing to get things down just right... learning new tricks and songs... wondering how much it would change the way a song feels if I tweaked it here and added there.... and so on. Although mostly, I've been thinking about perfection in the "for-real-no-sugar-coating-no-adding-no-taking-away-without-a-shadow-of-a-doubt-in-my-mind" LIFE of humans.

For some reason we have this thing inside of us that tries to self-justify all of our actions and reactions. Most of the time no matter how wrong we are ((AND BE HONEST WE CAN ALL BE WRONG! YES, EVEN ME, AND YES, EVEN YOU! YES, THAT IS RIGHT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US, BABY)....that is unless your are part beast with orangatang-like hair all over)), we always try to blame all of it on another. Though I do understand that there are times when it's not a 50/50 fault situation... sometimes it's 30/70 due to personality and other things. Even with that, you still have the 30% fault though.

This one thing I know for sure though; if you aren't willing to take responsibility for your own actions and reactions.... No matter how tough, great, invincible, and on top of the world you may think you are: then you better take another look at the one in the mirror. Something is NOT okay. Before too long... You little castle will be tumbling down like Mr Humpty Dumpty and crash at the bottom. That is just how things work on planet earth. The diagnosis for this crazy mishap is spelled like this:
 L. I. F.E.

I guess what I was trying to say though all of this is... NO ONE IS PERFECT! But we should be striving to perfection. Pride is something that will keep you from getting there. So you might as well just take what you are responsible for not matter how hard it might be to chew 'n' swallow; and move on. Even if other people that are involved don't - You just push to the next level and be the bigger person! :)


PS ~ AND GUESS WHAT?! That include the person whom you may think is "good-as-gold," your best friend for life, your partner, your side-kick, your ole' faithful secretary... They are human and will make misteaks... Keep that in the back of your Grey Matter!
