Many individuals actively pursue a connection with their Divine and seek a spiritual practice that is ideal for them. They deem a practice perfect if it enables them to attune to the Universe's magical rhythm or perform a ritual that reminds them of the abundant love flowing through their lives. They also strive to find the optimal meditation routine that allows them to joyfully immerse themselves in the pure and beautiful Divine light each morning. Their quest includes seeking perfect affirmations, mantras, visualizations, or other methods that ignite feelings of gratitude, happiness, and faith.
Their unwavering commitment lies in their pursuit of the perfect spiritual practice, their desire for personal growth, and their hunger to explore and test various routines and rituals. At times, they experience moments of utmost satisfaction and perfection, feeling a delightful surge of emotions coursing through them. However, there are also days when they cannot access those feelings, and their practice feels far from perfect. These struggles are common among spiritual perfectionists, as they perpetually seek the right practice that suits them perfectly.
It is essential to accept our imperfections because nobody is flawless. The truth is, each one of us is a human being—an imperfect and sometimes chaotic creature who may wake up on the wrong side of the bed. We all experience days when positivity eludes us, despite our best efforts.
Instead of exerting ourselves trying to be perfect, we should remind ourselves that it's perfectly okay to feel imperfect. There are times when imperfection becomes our perfect practice—embracing our existence as both divine and flawed human beings, living each day to the fullest.
Often, in our quest for perfect spiritual practice, we tend to overlook our humanity. In our insatiable desire to draw closer to the Divine, embody our higher selves, or tap into our innermost being, we forget to acknowledge and celebrate who we truly are. We fail to recognize that our imperfections are not obstacles to experiencing the divine; rather, they serve as gateways to it.
One crucial element missing from our pursuit of perfect practice is permitting ourselves to be human. Therefore, instead of seeking perfection, let us focus on appreciating and embracing the richness of our human experience on this planet. We will allow ourselves to dance with the pure and divine light, even amid our messy humanness. We will find joy and gratitude in every imperfection that graces our lives.
Because, in the journey of our lives, each of us chooses to be a human being and embrace the complexity, richness, and fullness of the human experience—not perfection. So, in our spiritual practices, as we connect with the light and embrace the Divine, let us also embrace our humanness.
