Qu'attendez-vous pour ... la perfection? — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 06:50:10 +0000

[...] J'ai appris à travers toutes mes erreurs et des succès que la vie et d'apprentissage est un processus vivant. Quelque chose qui se fait par l'expérience nous-mêmes et la Vie. Ce n'est que lorsque nous avons l'audace de sauter dans le fleuve de la vie que nous devenions vraiment la vie. Nous ne sommes plus sur le pont d'attente. . . . séparée de la vie.

Perfection is an inner timeless state. You will never find it in circumstances or things outside of your true self so stop looking for it there!

What are we waiting for?

Yes, I agree completely with your sentiments. We should just seize the moment instead because we never know when our last moment will be.

Great post.

Kia ora Robin,
Tara and I had a long talk the other night, based around not letting little things get in our way, about my own struggle to not sink into the depths of the mundane by not doing things we want to because other things are in the way, or by having the mountains which free my soul removed from my physical life. I think over the years we have started to get there, but it is important for us to sit down and remind ourselves, to look in each others eyes and reaffirm these things, to feel her hand upon me knowing how much I hurt and that she understands. I felt so alive – and I wasn’t even in the mountains! So maybe I am learning to adapt a bit, and finding such moments out here. These next 6 months will be hard, I am scheduled for surgery on 8 April, and with recovery am aiming for a tramp in July for my 50th birthday. I think Tara’s eyes were brighter than mine as she spoke of how excited she was to think of me, pain free and roaming in those hills, drinking from those beautiful pristine waters. So I am trying to find focus untuil that moment happens, thank you Wild Sister for your continued inspiration. Rave on. Kia kaha.
Aroha,
Robb

People who tend to set extremely high standards and are dissatisfied with anything less than perfection are difficult to be around and horrible to work for. Its particularly bad if you are self employed and you’re the perfectionist. I know this because it describes the “me” I used to be.

When I was young I was guilty of waiting for that perfect moment. However, after I fought my battle with the big C and won, and then recovered from an accident that resulted in another near death experience I learned how to live my life to the fullest in the now moment. Now I’m a courageous risk taker who is able to view every failure as a stepping stone to success.

I love to have dessert first!
But I am guilty of waiting… An incident over the holidays has driven me to explore a little more ‘visionary’ art. I want to finish up a current series of paintings first, but, I am not sure I can make this ‘wait’. Heck, I am not even sure what it is yet…

This post stays with me every day and probably will for a long time. As a result it has invaded my soul as I make important changes. The world’s worst procrastinator is trying to make some changes. This post was perfectly timed to coincide with the beginning of a new year. Could it be a new life? Why not. Watching you being blown around the top of that mountain really did it for me Robin. Thank you once again for a wonderful and inspiring look into your world.

You can count me in all my middle-aged glory on living TODAY. Because the fact of the matter is… we are not always guaranteed a tomorrow. My parents are a perfect example of that. Being middle income, they didn’t have bunches of money and according to most should have probably made “better” financial choices. But, my crazy mom and dad lived life to the fullest… traveling and having fun. Loving each other and all those around them. Then one morning at age 58, mom didn’t wake up. She had died of a pulmonary embolism during the night. Her tomorrow for dinner with the good china didn’t come. Wonderful life experiences is her legacy and I am proud of that!

Wonderful post, again!!
I was actually thinking about this the past week or so, weird!!

But it’s true what you are saying, and I can’t help but be angry at myself for all the opportunities that I missed. That is why I went into this new year with my new years resolution being “I want to do more, more of anything and everything”

There shouldn’t be a moment where I sit and wonder what I can do, I must be busy 24/7, with anything, anything that makes me happy~!!!

There is a saying: “Life waits for no one!!!”

You know what, I saw the weather for USA and Uk the other night, damn but it’s cold there, are you coping with all that cold?? We have lovely warm summer days, and lots of rain!!!! HAHAHA

Hope you are well!!

Goodness, once again we’re on the same wavelength. Only, LOL, you’re much more succinct than I! You explain it so clearly, too. What a wonderful piece you’re created here. I just love it!

Life’s meant to be thoroughly enjoyed NOW. I wonder how many of us will reflect back, tonight, on all the wasted moments of the day, the things we could have done but didn’t, the time we could have spent reviving ourselves, enjoying ourselves, relishing the rediscovery—even for a few minutes—of who we are. And then to think about all the ripple effects of that goodness, the ripple effects that didn’t occur because we didn’t take the time.

Oh, this is sounding so maudlin, but that’s not at all what I mean. What I mean is that just like “Love” is an action, so is “Life.” When we opt to not take action, what we’re really choosing is to try to keep Life at bay. Why? Goodness, goodness… It’s so easy, especially in the extremes of hot and cold (for me, anyway), to settle into comfort and just stay there, but that’s not living. That’s just a resting place.
