How do you make yourself happy while living in an imperfect world?

I happy myself in my experience of the world simple by stepping further into who I am; accepting all parts of me that I reflect on the world around me. As my perception of me shifts, my world shifts.

I believe a perceived imperfection is in my mind’s eye, especially if I have defined this imperfection as an irritant in a relationship between me and another. When I choose to shift my gaze to the edge of the image of imperfection that I have put onto another and relax my focus, shifting instead to the edge of imperfection where the image is not as strong as when I focus fully on the imperfection, I find I can see more clearly the core of goodness. I reveal the core of goodness of the other by shifting my focus. I have imperfection and perfection be the yin and yang of perceiving another – always connected – always a tension of opposing energies – and possible to be seen and experienced in many ways.
