Perfect is the enemy of Good

Do you ever get so angry when you come one tiny little step away from perfection?

I feel like its so much harder to accept it when you are that much closer rather than so far off. It's almost like I never care that much about it until I miss it just by a hair. Why is that? Why can't good be good enough?

If you put everything into it and aren't quite "good enough" according to the world's standards there is no reason to bring yourself down. Imperfect people are constantly setting perfect standards. It's ridiculous. Measuring perfection should be measuring effort and heart. There are so many amazing people that never get a chance in life because somewhere someone told them they weren't good enough. I want to know who the hell gave them right? Did someone descend from heaven and dub them the Judge or what? No, I don't think so. People need to get off their high horse and join the rest of us normal, not "good enough" people.

We are all the same. We are all human, one race. So why must we separate? We should unite and lift each other up so we can all reach the top. What good is happiness without people to share it with? It gets pretty lonely on the "good enough" side, don't you think?

God loves everyone. You may not be "good enough" by the world's standards, but you are by His. As far as I am concerned that's all that matters, right? If not, i'm sure that we could all use a bowl of humble soup. The world skews everything. Good IS good enough.
