Time to think|Time To Think - November 27, 2007 - The essense of perfection Episode
In Webster’s New World Dictionary it defines the word ‘Perfection’ as “1. The act or process of perfecting 2. The quality or condition of being perfect; extreme degree of excellence according to a given standard 3. A person or thing that is the perfect embodiment of some quality”. Incidentally, the same dictionary defines the word ‘Perfect’ as “Complete in all respects; without defect or omission; sound; flawless”. The definition of the word ‘Essence’ is “Something that is or existing, entity”. So you may say, what exactly is Reilly writing about today, who or what is ‘The essence of Perfection’? My Friend, I’m writing about you and me, and every other human being presently occupying planet earth. We are ALL ‘The essence of Perfection’, for God, the Creator of The Universe resides WITHIN us All 24/7.
In Dr. Wayne Dyer’s book ‘Wisdom of the ages’, which I find myself using as a reference again and again, he has a chapter on ‘Perfection’ where he writes as follows “The way to a peaceful life is to notice the perfection in God’s world and in ourselves, and nurture that perspective. Robert Browning’s wife Elizabeth Barret Browning, wrote two lines in ‘My Kate’ that nicely sum up all of this.
“The weak and the gentle, the ribald and rude, she took as she found them, and did then all good”. When you look out with wide eyes of wonder and appreciate all that you see as a gift from God, including your own life working in harmony with nature, you will know what the Poet Robert Browning meant when he wrote “God’s in His heaven….All’s right with the world”.
Yes indeed, we all need to get the concept into our head, that God created the world in which we all live, and each and every one of us, and as that well known saying puts it ‘God don’t make no junk’. Yes My Friend, you are ‘The essence of Perfection’ as you were created by God In His image, and after His likeness. What a powerfully positive concept this really is.
So, the real purpose of life, is to strive continuously each and every day of our life to get better and better, at literally everything that we undertake. Every task which we engage in should be an effort on our part to produce excellence, for that’s what we are in reality ‘The essence of Perfection’.
In other words, God planted the ‘Seeds of Perfection’ within each and every one of His children. Our job therefore as individuals, is to develop and nurture this perfection all the days of our life…. that’s what life is all about.
So today hopefully you have caught on to The FACT, that you are ‘The essence of Perfection’ living in a Perfect World, all created by God. Now, if that’s not a really positive thought for today, I don’t know what is!
THINK ABOUT IT!
