Imperfection or perfectionism comes up quite a lot in my work. People tell me that they are perfectionists. I encourage them to strive to be comfortable with imperfection; to see the beauty in flawed.<\/p>\n

In other words, instead of experiencing imperfection as a shortcoming<\/em>, a deficiency <\/em>and\/or weakness,<\/em> why not see it and feel it simply as an inexactness<\/em> and inaccuracy<\/em> that presents an opportunity to see and feel the state of things as they are. The \u201cisness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here, 8 Perfectly IMPERFECT Quotes to chew on
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

To banish imperfection is to destroy expression<\/strong>, to check exertion, to paralyze vitality. ~ John Ruskin<\/p>\n

We are all wonderful, beautiful wrecks<\/strong>. That\u2019s what connects us\u2014that we\u2019re all broken, all beautifully imperfect. ~ Emilio Estevez<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve learned recently to love imperfection<\/strong> a lot because it shines such a big light on God\u2019s grace. And if someone has grace for you that\u2019s when you feel their love the most and they see you for who you are and they love you anyway. ~ Lacey Mosley<\/p>\n

I believe that the measure of my soul is my capacity to love imperfect people. <\/strong> ~ Joseph Grenny<\/p>\n

But those who seek only reassurance from life will never be more than tourists\u2014seeing everything and trying to possess what can only be felt. Beauty is the shadow of imperfection<\/strong>. ~ Simon Van Booy<\/p>\n

Imperfection<\/strong> is in some sort essential<\/strong> to all that we know in life. ~ John Ruskin<\/p>\n

To accomplish the perfect perfection, a little imperfection helps<\/strong>. ~ Dejan Stojanovic<\/p>\n

But life isn’t something that should be edited. Life shouldn’t be cut.<\/strong> The only way you’ll ever discover what it truly means to be alive and human is by sharing the full experience of what it means to be human and each blemish and freckle that comes with it. ~ Iain Thomas<\/p>\n
