Perfection only exists in the mind of the beholder

People who chase perfection can’t achieve it because it’s a bit like happiness. If you don’t find it within you, you’ll not find it at all. You see, perfection doesn’t exist in reality. It’s based on how you interpret the world around you. It’s your perception of reality.

If you believe you are perfect in every way, you are perfect regardless of what other people think. The best example of this is the man who believes he’s God’s gift to women. In his mind, he’s Mr. Perfect, or his mother has spent his entire life telling him how handsome he is and how any woman would be lucky to have him. It pretty much boils down to the same thing.

The best example of people chasing perfection is found in plastic surgeon’s clinics, where perfect people want to enhance some part of their bodies that nobody else will notice unless the surgery goes wrong.

There are millions of perfect people in this world, if you think you’re not one of them and you want to be, just think the following sentence every hour of every day for the next three months and you will be perfect.

My body is perfect, and I’m living a perfect life.

P.S. You’re not allowed to ask anyone during that time. Does this outfit make my ass look big?
