It is impossible to find perfection, but it is easy to accept perfection.
Sounds contradictory, doesn’t it?
Here are the basics.
The problem with this planet is that no matter how hard you look – you can not find perfection.
Matter of fact – the harder you strain to find perfection – the farther it seems to be.
The blessing on this planet is that perfection is actually all around us.
The perfect balance of the Universe necessitates that everything is perfect.
If it wasn’t it wouldn’t work.
The Clock Stops
Look at it this way. If you pull a tiny gear out of a giant grandfather clock – the clock stops – no matter how big it is. It needs every single tiny spring and screw to function.
Your life is a tiny gear in the largest, most perfectly balanced machine imaginable – the Universe. There is no way things COULDN’T be perfect.
It is the nature of the machine to require every part working to function at all.
So why don’t we feel things are perfect. Why does everything look so crazy and out of whack?
It is because our “personal” viewpoint of our lives is one 3 billionth of the big picture here on earth.
Looking through a Keyhole
It is like we are looking through a keyhole and believing the tiny little image we see is the whole world.
Rather than trusting that everything is OK, we think of a million ways is “should” be different.
The irony is that those changes you think should happen would throw something in the Universe out of whack.
They may well have huge unintended consequences.
Such a simple choice as to whether you take a certain route somewhere could literally make a life or death difference.
Example – You are driving to an important meeting, feeling fantastic. Running just in the nick of time, you turn down a street that you use every day and, ouch, detour signs everywhere. The street you need, the only convenient way is blocked off with construction. Oh, no! You feel your stomach churn and blood pressure rise as you realize that you now have to drive miles out of your way.
You gripe and moan to yourself “I’m gonna be late. My plans are ruined, now I’ll look flaky and may lose the contract. Why do these things always happen to me? This is so unfair etc, etc.”
You are unaware that you had not been delayed and taken your “normal” route – the truck with bad brakes and you would have met in an intersection you drive through every day.
Boom, crash! And that, would be that.
But you would have been running on time, just like you planned. You would have gotten what you thought you wanted.
Unfortunately, the world would have lost all your unique talents and potential and maybe all your offspring as well. But you would have gotten your way.
Sometimes “your way” is not in the best interest of the whole 3 billion of your brothers and sisters and the untold billions in the millennium to come.
In those cases the Universe intervenes in it’s perfection. Sometimes it will even put up a “Detour” sign in your life for your benefit.
As the Universe Lovingly Laughs
Imagine how funny it looks to the Universe as you gripe because it put energy in motion to save your life this morning.
This is the other side of the saying “Man plans and God laughs”.
That saying us usually said to demonstrate the futility of planning. I see it differently To may way of thinking mostly God (Goddess, Universe, Higher Self, whatever fits your belief system) is laughing with you. Not at you.
So instead of looking for perfection – just sit back and accept it.
It’s all around you — all the time.
Guaranteed.
