The Tulip

And The Rose

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
In the same vase

“My life isn’t perfect

but I am thankful for what I have”

What is “Perfection”?

It is many different things

to many different people.

In my opinion,

if you are Grateful for what you have

in your life,

and Happy,

You are Living the Perfect Life!

Society tries

to ‘squeeze’ us into

what ‘It’ calls the ‘perfect’ Life,

which can put pressure and stress

onto many people,

and it’s not necessarily

‘how’ some Want to Live.

When we make it

a part of our daily routine

to take a few minutes to think about

what we do have,

and to be Thankful for these things,

all of a sudden

our Lives Look Perfect.

Finding Joy

in what we have in our Lives,

and who we have,

and ‘Seeing’ the Beauty

that is really there,

Helps us to Embrace our Lives

for what they really are.

The trap comes

when we start to ‘compare’ ourselves

with others and with their Lives.

A rose and a tulip

grow in the same garden,

but

Both are Beautiful!

We Learn from ‘imperfections’

as we go through Life,

but the most Important thing

is to “Accept” Ourselves

for who we really are.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
