Perfectly ImperfectWe have all heard that no two snowflakes are alike. Each snowflake takes the perfect form for the maximum efficiency and effectiveness for its journey. And while the universal force of gravity gives them a shared destination, the expansive space in the air gives each snowflake the opportunity to take their own path. They are on the same journey, but each takes a different path. Along this gravity-driven journey, some snowflakes collide and damage each other, some collide and join together, some are influenced by wind.. there are so many transitions and changes that take place along the journey of the snowflake. But, no matter what the transition, the snowflake always finds itself perfectly shaped for its journey. I find parallels in nature to be a beautiful reflection of grand orchestration. One of these parallels is of snowflakes and us. We, too, are all headed in the same direction. We are being driven by a universal force to the same destination. We are all individuals taking different journeys and along our journey, we sometimes bump into each other, we cross paths, we become altered.. we take different physical forms. But at all times we too are 100% perfectly imperfect. At every given moment we are absolutely perfect for what is required for our journey. I’m not perfect for your journey and you’re not perfect for my journey, but I’m perfect for my journey and you’re perfect for your journey. We’re heading to the same place, we’re taking different routes, but we’re both exactly perfect the way we are. Think of what understanding this great orchestration could mean for relationships. Imagine interacting with others knowing that they too each share this parallel with the snowflake. Like you, they are headed to the same place and no matter what they may appear like to you, they have taken the perfect form for their journey. How strong our relationships would be if we could see and respect that we are all perfectly imperfect for our journey. Steve Maraboli
About This Quote

We all want to be loved, appreciated, and accepted for who we are. And, let's face it, we've all had bad experiences with people who claim to love us only to turn around and do very little for us. The truth is that humans are complicated. We don't always feel comfortable with each other.

We aren't the same. So, why do we need to love each other? Because our differences make it easier for us to understand each other. It's so much easier to see what someone needs than what they want.

Because of our differences, we can be much more sensitive to each other than if we were the same.We want others to love us because they will accept us just as we are. They will give us the time that we need, even when we aren't sure that they will. They will reassure us when we're nervous about something important and they will be there for us no matter what happens in our lives.

When someone loves you, you feel accepted and loved for exactly who you are, which means that you can give them everything you have to offer... because you know that they will appreciate it every step of the way.
