Imperfect opportunities

…are the only kind there are.

Insisting that the world provide you with better opportunities is a way to hide. A way to hide from your feelings of disappointment and inadequacy, from your fear of uncertainty, and from your aversion to imperfection.

It’s also largely a crutch, because every time you pass up a ‘faulty’ opportunity for a potentially better one that hasn’t shown up yet, you can avoid the internal conflict of choosing wrong.

It takes guts to choose from what’s available. To stop waiting for a better, more explicit option. But it’s also the only way to ever move forward, because perfect will never come.

Waiting to find a faultless opportunity is a delusion, and a self-sustaining one. It’s up to us to lean in and make the imperfect better—to make the best out of what comes up.
