Beware trying to iron out all your quirks, perceived flaws and doubts. It's often these things that help you find strength, compassion, empathy for others and heart.

About This Quote

We all have flaws. Some of us, more than others. Some of us, more than others get too ambitious and consequently suffer because of it. We often get so caught up in the idea that we need to be perfect, that we forget that perfection is unattainable.

It has its place in our dreams, but if we try to live with that mindset then it will take over our lives. This quote is in reference to the idea of putting all our eggs in one basket. This is a dangerous strategy if you are not careful or if your eggs are not carefully prepared.
