Imperfection is the spice of life that helps me create a better recipe for my relationships and myself.

Imperfection is the spice of life that helps me create a better recipe for my relationships and myself.

Imperfection provides variety. When I think of perfection, I think of how boring life would be if everyone were perfect. Everyone would look and act exactly the same! Yes, imperfection is my choice and I welcome it.

Just as spices enhance a meal, my life is enhanced by imperfections. Different spices make for different flavors, and each person in my life brings me a unique variety of imperfections that shape our relationship.

For example, we can complement each other with our different selection of strengths and weaknesses. My unique strengths help to bolster their weaknesses when they need it. In the same way, I can improve my weaknesses when I allow their strength to help build up my own.

I am grateful for my imperfections because it allows my love and relationships to bloom. Those who love me do not love me because I am perfect, but because of who I am, faults and all.

My imperfections make me one of a kind. Their unique combination all go to make up the wonderful person I am, inside and out.

Even though I choose to make myself better with self-improvement, I do not strive for perfection. I am simply changing my recipe around to a different mixture - more of one thing and less of another. These changes still allow me to be me!

Today, I embrace my imperfections as the spices that make me what I am and feel gratitude for the different spices in all my relationships.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How do I feel about my imperfections and those of my loved ones?

2. Do I strive for perfection?

3. Do I expect perfection from others in my life?

Wealth Insight 2009-10-23 What is it worth to keep us ignorant? Profits are huge when you can keep your costs very low. At the same time you need to convince people to pay as much as possible. The lower the costs and the higher the price you can charge, the better. The skin care and cosmetics industry is a great example – but there are many, many others. Including wealth creation. Let’s take the beauty industry: The costs are low because the ingredients are cheap. Often, they... Read more...

Wealth Insight 2009-11-06 Where does today’s money come from? I’m not talking about historical money right now, though that is an interesting tale! For now I am just looking at where today’s money comes from. The money in your pocket. The money owing on your bond. Okay, you worked for it. Or you borrowed it. But where did it come from? Yes, your employer. The bank. But before that? It was created out of nothing. Once... Read more...

Wealth Insight 2009-08-14 Just because it doesn’t glitter doesn’t mean it isn’t gold! Just the other day I heard of a woman who helped her boss start a new business. She was with him for twenty years, starting from Day 1. She opened up in the morning, she closed up at night. She knew the business better than he did. So he could and did leave most of it in her capable hands while he travelled, enjoyed holidays, etc. There was almost nothing about that business that she did not... Read more...
