The essence of being human is
that one does not seek perfection. . . . Just progress.
—George Orwell
Reflection
It is sheer folly to try to be perfect. Even if you did
achieve it, who the heck would want to be around
you? And then you probably wouldn't be able to tol-
erate all of us imperfects around you. So relax and
rejoice in your humanity — that wonderfully imperfect
state you were born into.
Affirmation
I rejoice in my imperfection even as I strive for growth
and progress.
