Analysis of Be Happy, Not Perfect
There's no such thing as perfect.
Where did the word come from?
The perfect Husband, Job, House, Marriage.
We are all human beings, living in a human world.
Most are nice, sincere, loving, even kind.
But perfect causes such unhappiness.
Perfect is unreal, untouchable.
Accept good, well done, and wonderful.
Do your best, Be your best
There is no such thing as perfect.
Be Happy Not Perfect.
