What is perfection???

The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.

  1. Well to me this is saying that nobody's perfect. There are images that people put out in the world that cause people to have low self-asteam But when you really think about it all you can really do is be yourself. GOD made you the way you are for a specific reason to show that everyone has different qualities and that no one is the same as the other. It is better to be yourself than to be someone you dont even know.

  3. I think this quote means that nobody is perfect. Some people strive to become perfect but they hasn't realize that nobody on the earth can or will become perfect. People should just strive to be themselfs in work more on working on being a better person. jordan davis prd.3

  4. To me this means that you shouldn't try to be perfect. Nobody is perfect and being perfect is impossible. Everyone is going to have problems and the sooner people realize that, the sooner they can stop striving to be perfect. It may be hard to stop, but when you do, it is a great step forward in your life. The only thing you can do is be the best that you can be.

  5. Perfection is when a person is puttting forth their best and not giving up no matter what. In life i believe that no body is perfect and that all human make mistakes. But the haman that is learning and wanting to not make any more mistake in life is they person that striving to be perfect even throught they can't. Think about

  6. The word perfection can be defined in many ways but the way I desribe it as me being myself and trying do everything I do in the right or proper way. Someone told me that the first time you do something do it the right way then you don't have to worry about going back to clean up want you did. so perfection is not being perfect because we can't but to reach a level of matureness of knowing you mistakes.

  7. ..To me this is saying that people try so hard to fit in and act like or portray to be super perfect and act as though they are above every one else when in reality we are all the same but have different features and personalities...This is saying that instead of aiming to be something or someone your not, just try being you and never change for someone else's being...no one is perfect so we shouldn't stress ourselves over nothing...

  8. When your not trying to be perfect for other people and just be who you are you'll find that, that is very amazing.Being perfect for someone else is pretty much called fakeing and in other words being someone else that is not you.So when you can be your self and not pretend to be something your not you will be happier and much more confortable and then people will know what to expect when they see you,and it wont be a surprise.So be perfect in your own way and you will be amazing.

  9. This quote mean to me that everyone is not perfect. People focus on being focused too much that they forget to be themselves. They try too hard to be like others other than being themself. GOD made us all different. We all have different personalities & qualities. Ohter will accept you for who you are, not who you try to be. Its better to be yourself then to be like others. We think that trying to be someone else or wanting to be someone else but its NOT!! So just be yourself!

  10. No one is perfect. People try to be perfect but they don't succeed. You should try to live a perfect life and just be yourself instead of being a perfect person and not showing who you truly are as a human being. The only thing that we can do is to be ourselves and strive to be the best that we can be.

  11. I think this quote is sayin that people try so hard to fit in that they lose themselves along the way. They want to please others so bad that they forget who they really are in the process and they end up lost and cant really figure out who they are.

  12. The search of being perfect can blind. Those who go outside themselves trying to be perfect can end up losing sight of who they really are. Being yourself is the best perfect anyone can be. Changing to please those around you can result into unhappy days and lonely nights.

  14. To me, i think that this quote means that you cannot be perfect all the time because if you're as perfect as you wanna be, people will not be around you most of the time. So basically what I'M trying to say is just be yourself.

  15. What this is saying to me is God made you how you are for a reason and you are perfect in your own special way. Although you try to be something you not to impress somebody, that makes it even harder for you to try to be perfect.

  16. to me its saying that yea u can try to do your best to what people in this world call be "perfect" but you'll never get their even if u try your hardest and in the process of all that you forget who you really are.. Be happy with who you are because out their somewhere, just how you think "o i wish i was that person," theirs a person who wishes to be you..

  17. What this means to me is that when you think everything should be perfect you for get were you came from. No one is perfect at everything if they were they would be millionaires at the age of 16 for their perfect ideas they come up with. Evevry one has there talents but that doesent mean that they are perfect at that talent that they do. So when you think your perfect your not.

  18. This quote means to me that being ambitious,going for the impossible and succeding,is less likely to happen than just doing what you know you can accomplish with ease.

  19. I think it means that it is hard for us to admit that we are wrong because we like to be the one who knows everything and never messing up on anything. There is nothing wrong with being imperfect or adimting that you are wrong. Everyone has there flaws. Once we figure that out then we start to be more like ourselves instead of trying to be like everyone else who wants to be perfect. This is what i thinkk this means to me.

  20. To me this means that no in this world is perfect. We can always try to be perfect. But we always mess up along the way. At the end of the day you are still yourself. Its better to be yourself rather than trying to be the perfect person.

  21. What i am getting from this is that no one is perfect. Perfection is not possible in any way. Don't ever try be anything your not because your livin your life to try and please others, and once give up on that life would be soo easier.

  22. The meaning of this quote to me is that you can only make something out of yourself that is not you, leading you to try to be the real you. Also when having to work on having a perfect life, it make showing the real you or becoming you harder than what you expect. Meaning when having your life set up 4 everybody there's no room for including the real you. So in saying this personally I think you should be yourself and only yourself, and not the person other people want you to be. And that is my interpretation on this quote this week.

  24. i believe that when you are so fond of being flawless you lose who you are after so long and it becomes a challenging journey to find the one you put aside for the "latess look."

  26. THIS QUOTE IS SAYIN THAT,WHEN WE ARE AROUND A GROUP OF PEOPLE; OR SOMEONE WHEN INTREST IN, WE SOMETIMES TEND TO PUT ON A ACT. TO BE BETTER OR PERFECT THAN THE NEXT AVERAGE PERSON. I BELIVE BEING INVALIED TO YOUR CHARACTER, LEADS INTO DISCOMFORTRAZATION, WHY BEACUSE THIS WILL DRAW DISSATIFICATION ATTENTION TO YOUR CHARACTER; THAT YOU TRY HIDE FROM PEOPLE BUT CANT! TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.

  27. I think that this means that we should stop trying to so perfect all the time.That we should learn to just be ourselves and be the way the Lord entended us to be. That when we stop trying to perfect in every way you learn that you are already the way you are suppose to be. Thats what i think this means.

  28. What this quote means to me is we all want to be perfect in some kind of way, but its hard for us to just give up and be ourselves. To be honest, i dont want to give up on trying to be perfect. My goal is to try and be Christ-like in every way. As every may or should know He was perfect, in every way. My goal as a follower of Christ is to be Christ-like, so I will continue on that path. Even knowing I will never amount to what He, while He was here on earth, I can try with all my might. I will continue to strive to be like Him and I won't give up and start doing my own thing. If that happens, nothing good will come out of it, and all I've worked for would be for nothing.

  30. It means to me is that everybody is not perfect.The things people do or say can lower your self-asteam.Not all people are like you, me or someome else.So we need to watch what we do or say to someone because it can hurt their felling.And we would feel the same way if we were in their position. !*Maggie Galtney*!

  34. To me this quote is sayimg that everyone try to be perfect to fit in. But try to hard and end up not being themselves. Everybody have their own qualities and traits that are given by birth. Be yourself and try not to improve nobody

  35. I believe this qoute means that you can only try to be perfect for so long. Sometimes we need to let go and try to find ouselves. You can't always have so many high expectations for yourself;you can suffocate yourself because of all the pressure and you might leave behind the fun you that everyone else knows and loves.

  36. Perfection is impossible to succeed. i personally believe that trying to achieve perfection is a waste of time. Everyone screws up sometimes, but its part of life.

  37. Noone or nothing is perfect. I believe that being perfect is impossible. God made everyone differently, so therefore there is no such thing as a perfect human being. In life, you could try to aim for perfection, but most likely it's not going to always be 100%. it's just going to be your best. And I believe that your best is good enough if you really try.

  38. Being perfect isn't everything. Sometimes you just have to step out of the lime light sometimes and except that no one is perfect. That we can't do it all and we will make some mistakes. Further more we will be able to correct the things that has held us back from becoming a step closer to perfect.

  40. Perfection is something that everyone reaches for, but wonders why they can't get there. They see what's perceived as "perfection" on tv, which is mostly a life of fame and endless money.Then when they get there they don't understand why they're still not satisfied.In reality we won't reach perfection by trying to meet the standards of the world.God sent us his Son,Jesus, to show us true perfection and to die for our sins. Therefore we need to strive to reach what He sees as perfection.

  41. Be yourself!! There is no one better at being yourself than you. Instead of trying to fit in with everyone be your own person, and be unique. We were made perfect in the image of Christ this is why perfection is not a characteristic that we can achieve on our own. If we allow our God centered self to come forth then we will be walking in the fullness of perfection.

  43. To me this means that no one is perfect. When people are around a different group of friends in begin to act different to fit in so the crowd can like them, but they shouldnt because nobody is perfect. When the only person that is perfect is GOD & that should be the only person they should be trying to impress. Thats what i think perfection is.

  44. that instead of trying to be good in every little detail just focus on being good as yourself and stop trying as hard to have no flaws

  45. Perfection is when you get everything you want, you ge to go to all the latest parties, school events, etc,etc. perfection is being cool, hanging with the cool kids and chicks. Perfection is having the world revolve around you cause you think your oh so popular, well honey I guess. Being perfect is not a God-given talent for everybody, some people are born with it, some people have ie naturally or it just comes to them neaturally. Being perfect is not an easy thing. Althought, every popular kid thinks its that easy, but no. But NOBODY'S PERFECT, and I'M A NOBODY, so I MUST BE PERFRECT.

  46. This means that no one is perfect. We all make mistakes and the best thing to do is to just learn from them. Becoming yoursef is hard because many think that they will not be accepted by those around them. If anything learning how to become yourself helps you build your self confidence and self-respect.
