Comments on: How do you make yourself happy while living in an imperfect world? http://greenpsychology.net/2010/01/how-do-you-make-yourself-happy-while-living-in-an-imperfect-world/ Fri, 16 Jul 2010 20:10:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Legacy http://greenpsychology.net/2010/01/how-do-you-make-yourself-happy-while-living-in-an-imperfect-world/comment-page-1/#comment-123 Legacy Sat, 08 May 2010 13:58:00 +0000 http://greenpsychology.net/?p=518#comment-123 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.

As my perception of me shifts, my world shifts. 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.

Out beyond tolerance, out past acceptance there's a place for integrating adversity. I can welcome difficult encounters and challenging people: they are my teachers in the best light, and only circus acts at worst. What doesn't inspire us to grow ourselves should at least help us laugh. EMBRACE THE IMPERFECTION!
