In a bid of find some motivation and enlightenment, i googled. and found this interesting post.. I'll include a short excerpt which left an impression on me.
"Living conditionally is a tragedy and an unnecessary one. We know that if you ‘truly’ love someone, your love has nothing to do with whether they live with you or have a job or are perfect. You love someone regardless of the exigencies of their or your circumstances.
Your life is no different.
Don’t withhold loving your life until it is ‘perfect’. You could wait forever. And love has nothing to do with happiness. You can love someone and still be unhappy with their choices. You can love your life and be unhappy with where it is at, desire to do something better, and be more excellent than you were before.
Just don’t withhold yourself, your love, and your approval until the moment when everything is complete and whole and perfect. Could you imagine the way you would feel if your parents had withheld their love from you until you were ‘complete’ and perfect? Can you imagine the pain you would hold in your heart? Is that pain at all similar to the pain you feel regarding your life?
Growing Up
All of the time people trot out the line that ‘the journey is more important than the destination’. It’s truer than we can know.
What is the freaking destination? What is the point that your life is complete and perfect? What is it?? It is all points and no points.
Could you imagine looking at your child and thinking “You’re not done yet, I’ll love you later.” Of course not. You child is perfect…as is, at being a child, at being. Your child is not finished or done or complete and yet you love them still. You can look at your child and see all the potentials they have, all the things they can do, all the possibilities which exist. What a precious, precious time."
