Perfection

While on route last week we past numerous canola fields. They look so great and picture perfect. I love looking at them and love to take photos of them as well.

But if you look closely, you can see that the canola field is not perfect. The plants are in different heights. Some flowers are dead, broken or not flowering yet. Looking at the filed as a whole makes it look great. If you pay attention to the small details you will find it is not.

On route to mastery, perfecting a form takes time (probably indefinitely) and lots of effort. However when we perform our forms after 1000 repetitions it should look perfect. Yes you can still see the imperfections if you look closely but as a whole it is PERFECT.

We cannot be too hard on ourselves because we are not perfect but at the same time we should always strive to be perfect.
