Perfection – live as if

I’ve heard the word perfectionism several times in the last few days. I’ve been a struggling perfectionist my whole life. I’m always looking for the secret formula that will make life perfect. Sadly, there is no secret formula, no recipe that can improve what life is.

I have a close circle of friends that are actors, artists, singers, songwriters and writers. This post is for them and especially for you. It’s time to stop classifying Perfefection as a disease. The world we are living in and the lives we are living are perfect – right now. 

The video clip above is from the BBC series Doctor Who. In it a group of art lovers time travel to meet Vincent Van Gogh. They bring him into the modern world and show him an exhibit of his art and how successful he is.

If I could say anything to inspire anyone that struggles with the creative process, it would be, “You are perfect. Your life is perfect. Every exquisite detail of your life and work is perfect. Live as if the life you’ve been given is exactly how it is supposed to be. Perfection is all there is.”

We are living in one of the most exciting and important ages in human history. Document it, create perfection NOW.  Live as if perfection is all there is.
