Do you strive after perfection but instead, find that your life is full of unwanted clutter? And imperfections?
Does your computer desk and your kitchen look like a recent Tsunami hit it? Do you fear that a Python will crawl up through your toilet and bite you on your ass? Is your love life down there along with the Python? If so, cheer up. I have good news for you!
Clutter and imperfections are in! Neatness is out!
The world is a messy place and so is living. Allow your life to be a reflection of that without giving way to the hopelessness of a life that's far less than perfect. A world that is neat and perfect is available to us only after we die, when there will be no unpaid bills, and where Martha Stewart won't weep at your lack of simple good house-keeping skills. It's where a ding on your beautiful new car won't send you spiraling into a fit of depression and where you won't even notice or even care, that you were the only one in your group of so-called friends who wasn't invited to that Christmas party. And where is seems others use you as their favorite object for put-downs.
Don't despair about that misspelling or typo that you noticed right after you hit the 'send' button. And if your family is less than perfect and looks like the exact opposite of the Osmond family. Or even worse, if no one in your family could care less about that last time when you were hit by a Mack truck?
Remember: Neatness and perfection are out. Life is a mess and for the brief period you have on earth, embrace that messiness, savor in the abundance of life's variety and imperfections.
Let the no-see-ums (much like mosquitoes), the sharks and the 'jaws' of the animal kingdom continue in their own pursuit of happiness.
Be happy and enjoy the mess.
