Practice Makes Perfect

Some say that perfection isn't achievable. Fools gold they say, chasing the unattainable, crying for the moon!

What exactly is the point then?

You practice and practice for what seems like a limitless amount of time, only to be hopefully perfect during an instance. This one instance, becomes the basis for everything you've worked for. If you correctly execute, you congratulate yourself for a job well done and say "practice makes perfect". If you fail, you pull out the age old saying "no one is perfect" and justify your defeat. The question remains, what is the point? Is perfection what we we're chasing after in the first place, or is it something else entirely?

Perfection isn't attainable

There are too many variables that keep perfection from being achievable; it's something that only exists in language, not reality. Deep down, most of us know this to be true, so the question remains.

What exactly is the point then?

The point, lies in a singular moment. It's the moment that we covet so dearly; the moment where flawlessness meets euphoria. That moment that either takes your breath away or causes you to breathe deeply and gratifyingly. We work our entire lives for the joy of specific moments, whether it's a big promotion, a beautiful vacation, or maybe your wedding day. We work tirelessly, just to enjoy a few moments, and then they're gone. Only leaving us to prepare for the next moment. It's these events that drive our very existence; you probably have a few of them marked on your calendar as we speak. Nothing motivates us more than the satisfaction of success on those days (however you define success). So I'll wager, that it was never about perfection, but rather, just enjoying those moments.

Life isn't about being perfect, it's about enjoying the time we have. Stop striving for perfection and work towards living in every moment.
