Perfection in Mistakes

When we come across the flaws and mistakes our adored heroes commit, it can be quite disappointing. The person looked up to is someone who we admire, someone who we want to follow in their same path, and someone who has created a enormous impact in our lives. By understanding the bad decisions they have made in their life can lead us to making the right decisions in the future. Everyone makes mistakes and just because a loved one that we admire does not succeed in being flawless, that does not mean that they should be looked down upon by us. There is no disgrace in making mistakes, only shame in not correcting them. Making mistakes is only human, and no one in this world is perfect. God created us with imperfections so we can fail then learn from our mistakes and have others learn as well. When similar situations happen to us we will be wiser and stronger. When someone we admire makes a mistake, it has us realize that we all have the capability to reach the realization and fulfill are potential to become role models to others. 

“We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see a imperfect person perfectly.” This quote has always raised the same question in my head, "how can we see someone imperfect as being perfect?" The older and more mature I become I have realized that the most cherished people that have been walking right beside me, and that have watched me grow, have all stumbled at some point in their lives. The imperfect people I call my heroes have all warned me how to avoid the things they had tripped over. So one day I can become a even greater person that they will be proud of. As I sit down and analyze this "perfect" quote I have now understood the meaning of perfect. Perfection is the small things you stumble over. Perfection is trying again and again when you had failed the last twenty times. Perfection is loving, loving the people who have showed you the correct path. The people who have helped you create your own path, so you can teach others how to become a loving, kind, and successful person. And one day perfection will have a true meaning in every one's eyes, only if we teach, care and love one another. Only then perfection will be accomplished.
