Seeking perfection just ends up creating ridiculous amounts of stress and disappointment.

Just as a seed grows with the warmth of the sun, so our positive qualities grow when we put our attention on them.

After a few (or many) bad relationships, its so easy to shut down, give up, and stop believing that the right person is out there for us. Our hearts yearn to fall in love, but our minds insist its not possible, and we enter into a tug-of-war with ourselves. Its as if one part of us is screaming, Yes! I deserve a great relationship! while another part insists, Ill never find him or her. When our beliefs contradict our desires, we experience an inner conflict that not only paralyzes us, but can actually prevent us from recognizing the possibilities for love that exist all around us.

I believe the word "perfection" should be changed to "pure fiction" - it's just not possible!
