YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT
I woke up this morning with a loud thought on my mind. I guess you want to know what it is right, I'll tell you. By the way, I have a habit of choosing something to think about every morning, it can be random and sometimes specific.
So this morning I started thinking about how I can be better than who i am today and what will I do differently to be a better person. You see, while this is a very good thing to think about and we'll talk about this some other time, today I'll like to share with you something I realized while thinking about how i can be a better me.
Growing up, I always believed that if i can't present or achieve something in a particular way, then there's no point doing it. So, when I came second in class or got a B in my result, I would still be sad because it wasn't 'good enough' but you know what happened, I still didn't do better the next time.
Most of the the time, you are not where you want to be or doing what you ought to because you were waiting till it's perfect before you start and when you eventually start, you give up at the first smell of failure.
We have been brainwashed to believe that perfection has to be in a particular shape or form (Who even created these things...) and the more we strive for perfection, the more reasonable we become.
So here's what i think, keep moving, never give up, know when to let go . If you find something you don't like, change it, but don't identify with it, everyday be the best version of your pretty self.
Always remember, that you are precious and priceless.
Till my next letter.
Love: Eniagbeke
