Driving Towards Perfection

The joy of living is in the hope of a better tomorrow. It is worthy to note that no one has arrived at their own perfect state yet but as long as you are making considerable progress, then perfection is in view. When success comes, you should not dwell too long on it so as not to make it obsolete. You have to quickly act to consolidate on your success and improve on it.

Like it has been popularly said; success is not a "full stop" but a continuous process in progress. You are not successful because you have experienced success once but because you have made it your lifestyle. Being a success or a failure is not a function of succeeding or failing once but when it is done repeatedly.

If you see success, do not make it a once-and-for-all act, there is always room to become improved. I normally sight this example: imagine if someone graduated from junior secondary school with the best result and he did not further his schooling into senior secondary school but decides to dwell on the glory of junior secondary school, a time will come when that glory will fade and the success will become obsolete.

Obviously, when his former classmates will be graduating from senior school but he only has a junior secondary school certificate, he will realize that success is to be dynamic and ever-progressing. Most times, success is bound by time and when it is not upgraded within a certain time, it may lose its relevance.

The idea may be to attain perfection but you need to realize that it does not come automatically, you have to keep improving on your strengths (your successes) while working on your areas of weaknesses (your failures). When you attain a certain goal, just remind yourself that this is neither your perfection nor your destination but just a process to it, so keep working on it.

When you start to see yourself as being perfect or have achieved perfection, you will place less emphasis on improvement. When you place less emphasis on improvement, then what you thought to be perfection may become your greatest imperfection. No matter how successful you are, the is still a better success ahead, so do not settle for where you are now.

In the journey of life, you may meet many uncertainties but all these are what will form part of your success story. You will agree with me that the presence of counterfeit banknotes does not excluded the existence of the real banknotes, rather it proves their existence. In the same way, the presence of imperfections is an indication of the possibility of perfection in the near future, so keep trying and pressing towards perfection and you will see yourself getting better with time.

Peace on y'all
