    Perfectionism causes stress, which is hard on the mind and the body. I have been known to be a perfectionist, but have been learning, quite slowly mind you, how to let go of control and go with the flow. It feels better to trust, but it isn’t always easy even if I know it’s the better option!

    Fortunately, perfectionism is one problem I do not have. I just live life simply. I don’t have any expectations on how one should be. It’s why I can sense incompatibility and reduce conflict instead of molding others to meet my desires.

    Perfectly unperfect I am and I will be.

    Releasing the expectation of perfection would enable me to relax, let go and be my true self.

    As a child I grew up with the egotistical lens of wanting to be a bobble head Saint on the dashboard of “your” car, becoming a saint because I was a perfect human being. Today I know I’m a regular human being making progress on this spiritual journey of living life on life’s terms. I respect the examples of those from many spiritual Traditions who’re considered holy people because of how they lived. I’ve let go of those expectations of self perfection and found comfort ability with my being me. Creator loves me all the way out to my edges. Blessed weekend to all🦋🌻Happy Solstice

    Everything is already perfect and enlightened. It is only me and myself who hold onto my human mind full of expectations, wants, desires, greed, anger, laziness and ignorance.
    If I’m to be absolved of all my sins which is my mind world overlapping Truth I must indeed let go of MY expectations. Thank you so much for this timely reminder. Thank you for giving me the means and the meditation method to go to Truth now .
