Tiny Wisdom: On Imperfect Days

Balancing Rocks

“Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.” -Unknown

There are far more reasons to be happy right now than there are valid excuses to wait for a better day. For starters, things will never be perfect. Just as everything lines up right with work, your relationship may get complicated. Just as you settle into a healthy relationship, your family might feel neglected.

Life is a constant balancing act, and on most days, some things will work in our favor and other things will appear to be lacking. Perhaps true happiness comes not from creating the perfect balance of conditions but from finding a balance that doesn’t depend on it.

Today if things appear to go wrong, hone in on what’s going right. Balancing requires a strong focus. We get to decide where to place it.

    Simple and to the point Lori – yes, life is all about finding balance and yep, nothing will ever be ‘perfect’ – and so the best and most liberating thing to do is to simply love and accept what is – in the moment.

    This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain!” In every storm, there’s wonder for sure!! 🙂
