In life, we often try to be perfect or at least act like we are instead of learning to embrace those imperfections which belong to us by birth. Those imperfections are reasons we learn to get them straight with our hard work and in a sense they serve us like a purpose in our life. The amalgamation of these efforts sews our character into what we become in the future. The main essence is the conversion of the challenges, failures, triumphs, and obstacles we face to shape us into a unique Individual. In life, perfection is just an illusion based on the perception of our view of the world. Some may think a dimple on the face is good luck and some think that it's just a genetic disorder.

Just like a wound will tell a story of a warrior, making mistakes and trying to correct them in good faith will make us a perfect Individual. It's like a lesson to be learned. Mistakes are the path to an authentic and vivid life. Move towards a path where an imperfection can be changed for good and those which cannot be changed learn to live with them. Do not try to copy others, there is an old saying in our native language, like a fox trying to be a tiger by marking its body with stripes, be like you, not the other way around.

It's not the end of the road when you face a failure, it is the beginning of the new you who learns from his/ her mistakes. Make your mistakes as your teacher and learn from them to not repeat those that cause us to fail. Each mistake is a step you cross in your path to succeed from the flaws within you to the person you want to be. Every setback have its fair share of wisdom, patience, perseverance and creativity which if embraced will build your character and opens your mind to the possibilities that were never seen before.

Our long term goal should be towards perfection and sometimes it can be exhausting and make us felt like our efforts are inadequate. However embracing those mistakes and failures converts us to our truest selves. Letting go of the flaws in us can make us feel compassionate towards ourselves and others building deeper connections within ourselves. History didn't just said the words, they experienced the situation and analysed it and said those things they say to not felt others how failures will be like for themselves, each mistake can be converted to a stepping stone towards your goal and reach it.

Instead of always thinking about the destination, enjoy the journey at present and when we appreciate our efforts, even though if they fall short we will combine them with our mindset towards growth. One of which is emphasizing gratitude can transform your flaws into lessons and failures into blessings rather than feeling like obstacles.

I think I saw a youtube video where people try to fix a broken cup with gold to give it more beauty than the previous unbroken cup, it shows us that the way we evolve during these mistakes and failures we become more mature and resilient which inturn make a unique type of you. Always think like being you in others situations instead of just judging them and treat them with kindness as if it were you. Instead of thinking that I failed, make it a positive thought as I learned and be in a group of people who support your growth and not your perfection.

Life is not about being flawless and not making mistakes, but doing something you believe in and if it fails, learn something from it.
