We Are Perfect (as we are)?.....
I’ve been thinking a lot about this idea that people are perfect just as they are. At first glance, it sounds uplifting and positive, right? It’s like saying everyone is already enough, and there’s no need for change. But the more I think about it, the more questions I have.
For me, growth and learning have always been important. I believe life is a journey where we can always improve, whether it’s how we treat others, how we handle challenges, or how we understand ourselves. So when I hear someone say, “We’re perfect as we are,” I wonder—does that mean we shouldn’t strive to be better? Or does it mean that our flaws are just as valuable as our strengths?
I’ve noticed that people who believe in being perfect often talk about self-acceptance and self-love, which I think are beautiful ideas. But I’ve also seen some of these same people dismiss the idea of working on their faults or learning from their mistakes. They seem to think that because they’re already perfect, there’s no need to grow. And honestly, I don’t see much spiritual or personal evolution in that mindset.
Here’s where I get confused: if we’re perfect as we are, why do we still have faults or struggles that we need to address? If someone believes they’re perfect, does that mean they don’t see room for improvement? It feels like a contradiction to say, “I’m perfect,” while also acknowledging that there are things about yourself you’d like to change or learn from.
I’d love to hear from anyone who disagrees with my perspective. Maybe I’m missing something here. How do you reconcile the idea of being perfect as you are with the desire to grow and learn? Is it possible to embrace both, or are they mutually exclusive? Let’s chat!
