The idea of perfection is (largely) an illusion. Most of the time, when a person believes to have achieved it, it is because events went according to their plans. Quite often, however, we are set up to fail in some form or another. But this is a good thing. Perfection, in the way I will use the word, is not the ability to always win, succeed or get what you want, but rather to flow with the order of life and so respond to the situation at hand in the way best suited. Emotionally speaking, most people hate it when they lose their cool. Often the results are a lingering negative sensation in the abdomen and residual heavy vibration throughout one's body. For those of you on a journey of personal development, you might feel as if you've "fell off the wagon" when you revisit your old mood. Perhaps something upset you. Perhaps you fell into another depression after a period of bliss. This can seem devastating and potentially give a sense of hopelessness. But I tell you this, remain strong, know that all journey's have roads with bumps and curves. Remember that to be where you are now takes much insight and depth. And while you may have been pulled in by the ignorance of another or your own, it was needed. For these are the trials provided for you. This is your game and any opposition you encounter is only designed to strengthen the player.
