Great living to do

Maybe you could have a good time without it being a perfect time. Perhaps you would benefit from a good relationship without it being a perfect relationship.

Most things in life are not perfect. Yet many of those imperfect things have much value.

When any situation is less than perfect, there’s opportunity for improvement. Specific pathways exist that enable you to make a difference.

Furthermore, the imperfections make life interesting. A book or film in which everything is always perfect would be perfectly boring.

Notice the imperfections, but don’t curse them or avoid circumstances where they are likely to arise. Instead, appreciate what they tell you about what you value, and about what you can do to make life better.

Where there are imperfections, there is also substance, value, and positive possibilities. Even where things are not perfect, there’s a whole lot of great living to do.
