  • 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:18,270 think the actual definition should be a 10-letter word describing something that doesn't exist or

  • prison

  • Maybe straightjacket. See perfection is a virus a

  • Tumor a growth it infects the mind of who it attaches itself to

  • Until it eventually

  • Destroys the host. I hate the very word perfection. It has driven me crazy for years guided by fear

  • I was constantly comparing myself to my peers stressing and striving to reach some idea that only existed in

  • Here. Oh

  • You thought perfection was real

  • Well, I disagree. I mean, have you ever seen a perfect tree in real life?

  • Have you ever gone into a forest and seen a perfect tree now?

  • See they all got a little something going on some lean this way some lean that way

  • Some have a little too much loss and some got a whole bunch of bark that's been ripped off but somehow

  • They're all beautiful, but

  • When it comes to people we don't seem to see that we are all beautiful in

  • all of our expressions

  • so we dissect ourselves into pieces judging each other thinking perfection is something we can achieve which leads us to feeling depleted and

  • Defeated but Salvador Dali's said it best

  • have no fear of perfection because

  • You never reach it

  • Ladies and gentlemen, there are two doors in life door

  • Number one be perfect and be admired or door number two. Be real

  • and beloved I

  • Say choose door number two and choose it quick because life's too short to try to live up to something that doesn't even exist

  • the lines be the pretzel that refuses to not be the marble that doesn't quite roll right do the dance that

  • Nobody's ever seen before and don't worry if people stop and stare. I mean if the Leaning Tower of Pisa was straight

  • Nobody would care

  • See what mistakes are made beauty is birthed. You know why they call it the Model T?

  • Because that's how many letters it took for Henry Ford to get that darn car to work

  • So don't worry about always being first and getting it right. I mean Sony's very first product they ever made

  • It cooked rice

  • so embrace your mistakes they are to be savored failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor and true success is being

  • Yourself in a world that's constantly trying to make you someone else

  • You know, I was reading the other day about a Japanese tradition called kinsugi

  • What they do is if an object breaks

  • They feel the cracks were pure gold because they believe that when something suffers damage and has a history

  • It is all the more beautiful

  • So I say love your cracks. You may call it brokenness

  • but it is the way your light will shine through and

  • If you have no one in your corner

  • then consider me your supporter and we will smile together as society tries to diagnose our gifts as

  • disorders

  • You don't need to be a perfect person with perfect makeup perfect skills or a perfect build

  • because the truth is real people aren't perfect and

  • Perfect. People are

  • real

Perfection the conditions state or quality of being free from all flaws or defects. I
