As a 20 something person, I find myself to fall in the trap of trying to please people just as when I was younger in high school and college. I constantly remind myself that it is not worth it but again and again, I continuously fall for the mistake and as a result, my plan get a detour and I find myself to have a hard time to do what I actually want to accomplish. In the song "Perfect" sang by the Canadian band Simple Plan, the lyrics talk about how perfection is not possible and it retells how he has to please his dad and fails to do so.
In our lives, we all can relate to this predicament; we have the deep desire to please our love ones when we have our own schedule and goals. However, is it possible? Is it even manageable to be perfect? Is it possible to please everyone? No matter what your relationship is with the other person, people will always have an opinion about us: about how we look, the way we dress, the way we live out our lives, the way we carry ourselves, etc. And worse of all we can't avoid it no matter how far we try to run away from it. Maturity comes when we realize perfection is not possible; it comes when we accept our flaws and continue to live and try our very best at life. It is not easy but I find that the more we practice, the more we get better at it, and when we finally acknowledge that perfection is not possible we take life less seriously and best of all, life becomes much more enjoyable.
