Perspective

So today was indeed an interesting day... I had a gorgeous conversation with a lady at work, who I am becoming quite friendly with - a soulful connection which is just wonderful to see birthing and she shared with me such a great perspective - that we shouldnt let the pursuit of perfection stop us from doing things - and how often do I live my life like that - saying to myself that I wont start dating again until I loose 10kgs, that I wont buy myself something until I have saved R 50,000.00, that I wont go on holiday to Italy unless I have someone to go with me etc.

Yes, there is something to be said for delayed gratification, but how often do we just exist - sitting in a place of pause - because we are not perfect, we havent put everything in place to get it all done perfectly but that doesnt mean that we cant enjoy life - that we cant take the bull by the horns and live.

An old philosophy question focuses on a glass that is 50% water and 50% air and asks if the person looking at the glass see's a glass half full or a glass half empty.

Its not so much the answer to that question that is important - a better question is what do you do with the contents of that glass.
