It is indeed difficult for man to be no perfectionist and amazing to see how hard it is for man to accept his limitations.
The tendency is to overestimate the possibilities and to underestimate the limitations. To demand of oneself high expectations and to be unloving and intolerant and irritated on limitations and shortcomings of one own.
Know that God is different.
God is looking with joy at the talents of man and is understanding with love his failure.
God is looking like a schoolmistress at her children who are trying something and failing, or begging for her approval if they are achieving something.
“The thing that is really hard and really amazing is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself”
From this attitude of man, from an attitude of rigor and intolerance the concept of hell has been created. A worthless, useless and not existing nightmare.
God wants you to become yourself, to be who you are, to say yes to yourself, to see the truth, to live in truth. And thus more is possible than when you deny this all.
Accept the allegory: who is coming farther down the road? The one taking one next step, or the one taking such a leap, that he is falling down and angry at oneself?
God is watching you in love and seeing everything that is all right: being human, dealing dignified with oneself, seeing who one is and what one is. And then taking one step, a small or large step according to character and situation, but not taking an impossible leap.
My blessings to you all
