I know exactly what is wrong with myself. Someday, the pieces within me will finally click together, and I will overcome those shortcomings. For now, I will keep working as I wait for that day, motivating myself with the phrase,"I will be the best person you will ever know." I will strive to be perfect to myself, my family, and my friends, and over time, because of that quest for perfection, I will improve myself. Even if a time comes when that goal appears unattainable, it will be the pursuit itself that will drive me to continue.
This is where personal definitions come into play. Only when I have corrected my flaws will I be good enough to consider myself "satisfied," while being "content" is coming to accept who I am.
With that in mind, right now I am content with my life, but I am not satisfied with where and who I could be.
Plenty of time to change that.

You're being too hard on yourself. Don't you think?
ReplyDelete... and 2 in the morning! This is one of those times I wish I was awake and we have those late night conversations.
I miss those. :(

You know, perfection is a very intimidating concept. (you must already know this, though, I hope.)
ReplyDeleteI don't know if your goals are realistic, but I have no doubt that you'll reach the highest possible point. I just hope you don't lose the love/friendship of people who, although may be lesser in your standards of 'perfection' or 'best', will offer at least some sort of insight in life.
Also if the person one aims to impress is not satisfied, why would one change for them anyway. You are what you are.
(And that is perfect, to me anyway.)
