Perfectly Imperfect
Perfectly Imperfect
We have all heard that no two snowflakes are alike.
Each snowflake takes the perfect form for the maximum efficiency and
effectiveness for its journey. And while the universal force of gravity gives them a
shared destination, the expansive space in the air gives each snowflake the
opportunity to take their own path. They are on the same journey, but each takes
a different path. Along this gravity-driven journey, some snowflakes collide and
damage each other, some collide and join together, some are influenced by wind…
there are so many transitions and changes that take place along the journey of the
snowflake. But, no matter what the transition, the snowflake always finds itself
perfectly shaped for its journey. I find parallels in nature to be a beautiful
reflection of grand orchestration. One of these parallels is of snowflakes and us.
We, too, are all headed in the same direction. We are being driven by a universal
force to the same destination. We are all individuals taking different journeys and
along our journey, we sometimes bump into each other, we cross paths, we
become altered… we take different physical forms. But at all times we too are
100% perfectly imperfect. At every given moment we are absolutely perfect for
what is required for our journey. I’m not perfect for your journey and you’re not
perfect for my journey, but I’m perfect for my journey and you’re perfect for your
journey. We’re heading to the same place, we’re taking different routes, but we’re
both exactly perfect the way we are. Think of what understanding this great
orchestration could mean for relationships. Imagine interacting with others
knowing that they too each share this parallel with the snowflake. Like you,
they are headed to the same place and no matter what they may appear like to you,
they have taken the perfect form for their journey. How strong our relationships
would be if we could see and respect that we are all perfectly imperfect for our
journey.”

What a wonderful statement… thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thank you Dun ..I thought it was cool
This is a great share Lil D.
Steve Maraboli seems to have thought this out very well.
I have never thought to compare myself with a snowflake but he has made great points.
I love it too Jean .. it would be so much easier if people would respect other people imperfection ..
Yes we are like this in so many way thanks for sharing .
great incentives to be ourselves thanks for sharing
I really like this Lil D i think we do need to accept everyone for just the way they are, after all the person they are is what drew us to them in the first place so if we want others to respect us them we should respect them first and love them just the way they are , i dont think we should try to change anyone we sure don’t want them to change us great post . :love:
l think this is lovely Lil.D
Nice share 🙂
