Day 171 – October 21, 2011
In life we all have an unspeakable secret, an irreversible regret, an unreachable dream and an unforgettable love.
~Diego Marchi
Such is life. I will not speak of the unspeakable secret, we all have those and they are best kept to ourselves. Accepting that life is not a perfect thing and that we all have regrets and dreams and loves, is the first step in finding peace in your life. It is a commonly held belief that you need to have a perfect life to have peace and happiness. Nothing could be further from the truth. Perfect is an unattainable goal.
In our world of hyperbole and extreme “this” or “that” we find that it is easy to forget, or never learn that peace comes from within and the first step to that is accepting that your life will have imperfect parts. You can not be all things to all people, you can not please all people any of the time. No one can look at their life rationally, honestly and believe that they have achieved any sort of perfection. I believe that is because we don't really know what perfection is. The definition of perfection, to say the least is a moving target. On our planet there are probably seven billion versions of what perfect is. Well, that's okay. The idea here is to accept you are not perfect, and the best you can do, is the best you can do and to find peace with that.
We all face an unimaginable variety of decisions, circumstances, and interactions with other people everyday and sooner or later; no matter who you are, you will have regrets, unattainable dreams and if your lucky unforgettable loves. I believe the secret is to hold fast to the best of it, accept the worst of it as unavoidable and to be able to look at a reflection in the mirror that is worthy of looking at, at the end of the day. Not just the outer person, but the inner person as well. Life is a journey with its highs and with its lows and keeping score is our spirit. We all have wins, we all eventually have losses and regrets, but like the villain turned good guy Megamind (played by Will Ferrell) in the movie Megamind said, “There's a benefit to losing: You get to learn from your mistakes.” And so we live, we make mistakes and we learn. Like Frank Sinatra sang, “That's life.” Its all about how we view the unavoidable, the unbelievable and the unimaginable things that enter our lives that makes it a learning journey and a journey worth traveling.
