Hello, everyone.

I welcome you to my blog. Everyone works towards perfection, but so far, so good; no one has been able to attain that. When it comes to perfection, we all see it differently; some see it as a reality and something that can actually be achieved, while many see it as a myth or, better still, an illusion that cannot be achieved no matter how much work you are willing to put in. Attaining perfection is impossible. You can actually attain perfection in some aspects of life, like acquiring a skill or learning a trade, but attaining perfection in all aspects of life as a human being is something I do not believe can happen.

Perfection can be defined in so many ways, but with the definition I have in mind, it makes it impossible to believe that it can actually be attained. For me, perfection will always be an illusion. You can work on self-improvement and do better for yourself and your loved ones, but attaining perfection, especially in all aspects of life, all because you put in the work, is something I do not see happening no matter how long you try to get it done, so instead of working towards something impossible to achieve, just do what you can and leave the rest.

Perfection can actually be defined in so many ways, like I said earlier, but I will just say perfection can be defined as being flawless and optimal, leaving no room for improvement since you are already complete; there is no need for any improvement. This definition alone should let you know that attaining perfection is impossible as a human being, as humans being flawed is our thing; you cannot be completely flawless and still be human, as humans there will always be that defect; it is impossible not to make mistakes as we are bound to make mistakes, which makes attaining perfection an illusion.

When someone is said to be perfect, it means they are flawless, no errors, no mistakes, they have everything under control but we all know it is impossible to actually come across a human who is flawless and not bound to make mistakes which makes it clear that perfection is an illusion and nothing near reality.

Each and every one on the face of the earth strives towards perfection, but the truth is no one can actually achieve perfection in every aspect of life. You can work all you want, but attaining perfection in every aspect of life is impossible, which is why we have the saying "you cannot have it all." You can be perfect in one thing and flawed in the other; being completely flawless is an impossible thing to achieve.
