“Perfectionism

is the enemy

of creation,

as extreme

self-solitude

is the enemy

of well-being.”

.

~ John Updike

‘
You cannot keep your cake and eat it too.

Trying to be perfect only stifles the imagination.

Hiding in a closet is not very healthy.

Today, be happy, ignore the mistakes

and hang out with a bunch of friends who

will be there with you, faux pas and all.

Happiness is being imperfect among friends.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

“To fear love

is to fear life,

and those

who fear life

are already

3-parts dead.”

.

~ Bertrand Russell

.

Simply put; if you are afraid of your own shadow

it is very unlikely that you will be able to love.

If you are afraid to enjoy life in the here and now

Russell opined that you are already

three quarters dead.

The caveat is the “if”, if you fear love

you will also fear living.

Today, enjoy living and love unconditionally.

Life is understanding the caveats.

Life is living and loving in the here and now.
