“Perfect understanding of the infinite requires limitless intellectual capacity; our undivided attention is better suited for humbler aspirations.”

“The conception of perfection exists only so we have something to strive toward. Impossibility is built into it, which is why we call it perfect instead of extremely good.”

“They luxuriated in the feeling of deep and all pervading satisfaction, a feeling of knowing absolutely that all was well with the world…Not only were all things possible, but all things were theirs.”

“Your Clock Will Never Slap you if you west your time, But destiny will one day.”

“I used to believe that I could do everything and be everywhere. I could work longer hours, make the dead line, cook delicious meals, play with the kids, get enough sleep, focus on my health. And I can absolutely can do all these things. But not at the same time. Not on the same day.Realizing that was a delightful freedom. Letting go of that notion of constant balance was releasing a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding. You mean I don’t have to be everything to everyone all the time? I don’t have to keep all the balls in the air all the time? I can change balls? I can choose different balls? Balance is finding the correct weight for every area of life and understanding that the correctness of that weight will change over time. Balance is fluid and flexible. Balance is alive and aware. Balance is intention. This idea of balance- a correctness rather than an equalness has taught me some of the most important lessons of my life.- I can not be everything to everyone- I can not be in all places at once.- Saying yes to one thing means saying no to another.- Saying no to one thing means I can say yes to another.- Perfection doesn’t exist. Let it go.- I can not change people- I have to stop comparing myself to others. They aren’t me. I’m not them.- I will never finish the laundry- I can’t control everything- Bad things happen to good people and vice versa.- My kids aren’t me.- Being all in a moment means I’m all out of another.- Envy and jealousy are different things.- Achievements never look like I thought they were going to.- Being kind to others is addictive.- I can’t always be self- possessed.- Sometimes I need a cheerleader.- I like being part of a community.- Asking for help is hard, but necessary.Embrace the wobbly balance.”

“Find the beautiful;The perfect;The wonderful in life,And then remind yourself that you are part of it;Therein, you are ALL of these things and more.”

“There are moments on stage when everything comes together. Then the kid in the front row coughs.”

“Run! Go perfect your crafts. Run! Go use your creativity.”

“Don’t wait for perfect conditions because life has no perfect conditions. The secret to success lies in your ability to do more with less.”

“We ought to regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its antecedent state and as the cause of the state that is to follow. An intelligence knowing all the forces acting in nature at a given instant, as well as the momentary positions of all things in the universe, would be able to comprehend in one single formula the motions of the largest bodies as well as the lightest atoms in the world, provided that its intellect were sufficiently powerful to subject all data to analysis; to it nothing would be uncertain, the future as well as the past would be present to its eyes. The perfection that the human mind has been able to give to astronomy affords but a feeble outline of such an intelligence.”

“The secret does not lie in the perfection of your path, but in recognizing its imperfection.”

“Focus on effort not perfection.”

“Perfectionism means that you try not to leave so much mess to clean up. But clutter and mess show us that life is being lived.”

“YOU ARE JUSTYou are not just for the right or left,but for what is right over the wrong.You are not just rich or poor,but always wealthy in the mind and heart.You are not perfect, but flawed.You are flawed, but you are just.You may just be conscious human,but you are also a magnificentreflection of God.”

“There is a very thin line of difference between a Pessimist and a Perfectionist. Both are scared to fail, strive for ideal but the only think unlike in the two is- Pessimist thinks it will last forever and Perfectionist knows it won’t.”
