Perfection can also be described as the best you can be but whose to say which flaws are acceptale and which are not?

You look back and wonder if all that internal work 24/7 was really worth it. I just feel that perfection isn't about attaining all that is good; rather it is the good, the bad, and the ugly together in the right mix (depending on the individual). Because good can't exist without bad and vice versa. <br><br>For me, perfection is basically about understanding myself for who I am, flaws and all, and working with (or around) what I got, not necessarily trying to "correct" myself.

In other words, if a person sets high expectations for themselves, even if they never fully attain them, pushing themselves to go beyond what they orignall thought they could do will probably help them reach higher levels in life, not not perfection.
So the persuit of self-defined perfection (althought it can never really be 100% defined) is thus the closest you can get to perfection.
