Recently I have been approached with this word, let's take a look at its definition
Perfection:
- the state or quality of being perfect
- a person or thing considered to be perfect
- the action or process of improving something until it is faultless.
Let's take a look at the word Perfect:
- having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be.
- absolute; complete (used for emphasis).
- make (something) completely free from faults or defects; make as good as possible.
---------------
I like the one that says 'having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics'
It says 'having the required or desirable elements,...' So what would be those required or desirable elements to be 'Perfect' in this world?
To me, to be Perfect or live the world Perfection in this world - what comes to mind, is being someone that can 'move people' to action to change the world/system we live in currently. But maybe I am missing the point, because recently I saw I cannot 'make anyone change' so then I define the word Perfection as Self Perfection - the process of continually improving oneself - has no beginning, has no end(yet you can transcend the mind and get to the physical and recreate yourself in a minimum of 7 years, the 7 year Journey To Life). And if you say that that is perfection, then probably I can be one that lived this definition of Perfection to a tiny degree I would say from my perspective, as I have so much to walk such as redefine words for myself, do mind-constructs on many past issues, basically since the beginning of my existence up until now - plus all my future 'projections'.
But hey, I am doing it in every moment as well, checking to not have desires, desire to change others - that one I started recently to apply- and it has been great - now practicing breathing.
It is ongoing and has no end, the degree to what you can expand. I think I have to do so much on my past but now I cannot think of a specific point I have not visited with self forgiveness, so for example the point of my dog that had to be put down and I reacted to it so much, I have already forgiven myself for it but not with doing mind constructs - so maybe now is more time to redefine words, re-create myself.
I don't consider myself perfect in any way, shape or form (as per my old definition of perfection), and someone approached me with this word recently - so maybe I have some desirable elements or qualities that this person would like for himself -- and I think that is totally doable, that someone can do what they see in someone else - be an example.
I am very flattered and surprised if someone says I am 'perfect' in my application because I don't see myself as perfect - for example I have 'fallen' many times, but also get back up Every Time -- maybe because for myself I have set some other desirable elements, qualities and characteristics to have before I can start of thinking, if at all, of this word Perfect(ion) about myself.
One quality I would say I have is that I don't give up, I may postpone something but never give up - Even in my studies, I would not give up and kept enrolling year after year, so sometimes it is best to redirect oneself and not be hardheaded -- but giving up like 'I can't do that' - that is simply not true, if someone else has done it before, rest assured You can do it too, and if it has never been done before, know that Everything is Possible.
For me I would like to have the ability to be always aware of my breathe, of me breathing, no matter what - I think that is a form of perfection. This individual that approached me with the word Perfection has been able to achieve it in 10 years, to at every moment be aware of breath, even when talking, from the moment of waking up until sleep. I think it's great. Because at any point you are either breathing or in your mind - so to get out of the mind into the physical breathing is key.
I have started today to practice being aware of my breathing and I see I have more confidence in myself for example when I am driving and I see a woman, before or if I am not breathing I have some reticence to look at her, like it is not allowed -- while I am breathing I can look, like naturally -- as we are designed go be aware of what is in front of us, not hide parts of reality. Also I am much more effective at any type of work or for example TT while aware of my breath.
I also want to say that I am single so maybe thats why I look at woman more lol
Enjoy
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to define the word Perfection as someone that can 'move people' instead of someone that can 'move himself' to do what's Best for All
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that Perfection is an idea I have.
I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to redefine the word Perfection for myself
I forgive myself that I have not accepted and allowed myself to see that redefining words is key
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to want to live up to the word Perfection by doing what I think a 'Perfect person' would do - instead of being myself and using common sense and the principle of what is Best for All to assess what to do
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to hide
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not do for myself what I want others to do
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to hide behind trying to make others do what I think must be done
I commit myself to do the things I think one must do - Walk what is Best for All at all times
I commit myself to make sure every penny I have is directed towards what is Best for All
I commit myself to in every breathe direct myself to do what is best for Me and thus for All, within the principle of what is Best for All
When, and as I see myself wanting to live an 'idea' of the word Perfection, I stop and I breathe, I realize and remind myself that Perfection is to live what is Best for All at all times, and that requires Self Honesty Self Forgiveness and Practical Application (A.K.A. The tools)
