The Emotion Of Finally

Finally, A Blue Rose

As I listened to a song today on Spa 73 SiriusXm radio, I let my mind wonder off only to come back with some forgotten wisdom and insight. It was about "emotions". We all experience a wide variety of emotions each and every day. We go through the emotions of joy, sorrow, various forms of love, various forms of hatred, disappointment, compassion, anxiety, fear, expectation, surprise, regret, failure, success, depression, exhilaration, the unknown, suspense, gratification and on and on.

However, all of those things that we get emotional about, none of them can touch "the emotion of finally". Every other emotion is defined by the event. Emotion of fear; you are afraid of something. Emotion of failure; your emotional because YOU failed. Emotion of success; you are thrilled because YOU succeeded in what YOU were attempting. So it goes with all other emotions. BUT, "the emotion of finally" is total and complete! "The emotion of finally" removes the weight of the world from your shoulders. "The emotion of finally" is CLOSURE! It does not matter what the result is. The resultant outcome can be good or bad, life or death, now or later, right or wrong, black or white. It just doesn't matter. "Finally" brings complete closure to uncertainty which is the most stressful experience known to mankind. Thus, "the emotion of finally" is the most powerful emotion YOU can and will experience.

I know this song does not exactly fit with this tidbit of psycho babble, however, it is called "Finally" and is one of my favorites. Enjoy!!

"The Emotion Of Finally", Whew...

Perfection Is Not Good

Set Yourself Free

Letting Go of Perfection

It is good to remember that one of our goals in life is to not be perfect. We often lose track of this aspiration. When we make mistakes, we think that we are failing or not measuring up. But if life is about experimenting, experiencing, and learning, then to be imperfect is a prerequisite. Life becomes much more interesting once we let go of our quest for perfection and aspire for imperfection instead.

This doesn’t mean that we don’t strive to be our best. We simply accept that there is no such thing as perfection—especially in life. All living things are in a ceaseless state of movement. Even as you read this, your hair is growing, your cells are dying and being reborn, and your blood is moving through your veins. Your life changes more than it stays the same. Perfection may happen in a moment, but it will not last because it is an impermanent state. Trying to hold on to perfection or forcing it to happen causes frustration and unhappiness.

In spite of this, many of us are in the habit of trying to be perfect. One way to nudge ourselves out of this tendency is to look at our lives and notice that no one is judging us to see whether or not we are perfect. Sometimes, perfectionism is a holdover from our childhood—an ideal we inherited from a demanding parent. We are adults now, and we can choose to let go of the need to perform for someone else’s approval. Similarly, we can choose to experience the universe as a loving place where we are free to be imperfect. Once we realize this, we can begin to take ourselves less seriously and have more fun. Imperfection is inherent to being human. By embracing your imperfections, you embrace yourself.

Another great life lesson. Lighten up, have fun, and, enjoy life enjoy YOU. YOU are going to screw up and make mistakes as we all do. So what! It is all part of the journey.
