"Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human." - Tony Robbins
We all have our flaws.
Gaps.
Weaknesses.
Imperfections.
Areas of focus.
Opportunities for growth.
Everyone does.
That's what makes us unique.
That's what makes us individuals.
That's what makes us human.
None of us need to be perfect.
Nor are we expected to be.
'Perfection' portrayed in the public eye is a myth.
A misconception of how people should be.
The powerful preying on the weak.
Ignore the need to compare.
Ignore the need to be someone you're not.
Ignore the need to be perfect.
Just do you.
Be respectful.
Be truthful.
Be honest.
Be real.
Be a good person.
Be a good human being.

Strive to live, live to strive.
