Hate to break it to you, but you're not perfect. Sorry. Not only are you not, but you're parents aren't, either. Nor are your relatives, friends, children, boss, co-workers, doctors, lawyers, retail workers, police, firefighters, emergency responders...in fact, NO ONE is. Oh, some of them might *seem* perfect (at least in your eyes), but they aren't. And you know what? It's okay. No one is meant to be 'perfect'.
To me, 'being perfect' is the same as 'being a complete expert at something': it means that you have nothing else to learn from whatever you're supposedly an expert at. Just like perfect. No where else to go. Stagnant. Locked in with no room for improvement or learning.
But, you *can* learn more. You *can* increase your knowledge and life experiences, simply by acknowledging that you *aren't* a 'perfect expert'. You have room to grow, change, and open yourself up to new horizons and challenges. Because you CAN. Because you really aren't stagnant. You are growing as a person, and as weird as it might sound, it's okay not to be perfect. None of us are.
We're all in this together. Imperfect as we are.
