Flying in imperfect perfection

Most of us struggle with perfection. We want things to go exactly right, exactly the way we want them to. Being imperfect is just not an option and we stress when things go awry. Why is it that way? Why is it difficult for us to enjoy things just the way they are imperfections and all?

Here is a list of things that are better when they are just a bit imperfect. Yes, you read that right. There are some things that we cherish more due to their imperfections. Serenades, dogs, and outfits are just a few of those things according to Oprah Magazine. Can you think of others? I think smiles are better just a bit imperfect as well. 


If you look closely at a tree you'll notice it's knots and dead branches, just like our bodies. What we learn is that beauty and imperfection go together wonderfully.
