Imperfection in Life and Business
Imperfection in Life and Business is a Given
I learned early on that life is far from perfect. It’s filled with highs, lows, twists, turns, and uncertainties. There’s imperfection in life and business. And if you’re reading this, perhaps you’ve looked around lately and thought, “This isn’t what I imagined my life would be like. I wish it were different for me.”
First, let me say this, you are not alone. You are not the only one wishing your life looked different.
Second, you need to know something else: life doesn’t have to remain the same. It’s entirely possible to enjoy your life — even love the life you’re living, despite its imperfections.
There is no doubt that wishing life was different is not new. But our current structure of living seems to make it worse.
In many ways, the digital age has us under an illusion that some people are out there living perfect lives. As a result, it is easy to become envious or jealous. They seem to have everything all together and if we don’t, we must have done something wrong.
We begin to believe that happiness lies in that perfect Instagram shot or the seemingly flawless life of your old high school friend on Facebook. But that is not true.
