Perfection
January 17, 2005
With my wedding being just over 9 weeks away I have become
fascinated by the notion that your wedding day should be
"perfect". What is perfect? What does that look like?
I found the following definitions via an online dictionary:
Perfection: the state of being without flaw or defect.
If this is true who determines whether something has a flaw
or a defect? Against what is this measured?
It is not just to wedding days that the notion of "perfect"
applies. People strive to be "perfect" in many ways ...
perfect employees, perfect mothers, perfect citizens and so
forth. Who is measuring this level of perfection? us? our
family? our boss?
We waste so much time and energy trying to be perfect. What
I think is perfect is not what you may think is perfect ..
so which one is most perfect?
Think of an area of your life that contains a flaw or
defect. Consider now that this is area of life is perfect
just the way it is! Truly!
I am sure that on my wedding day there will be things that
do not happen as I expected. Does this mean my wedding day
cannot be perfect? Far from it ... my wedding day will be
perfect just the way it is ... whatever that may be. The
flaws and defects are exactly the things that add richness
and life and therefore create "perfection".
It is said "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" ...
consider then that "perfection is in the eye of the
beholder".
Have an inspiring week!
