So what can nature teach us about perfection?

.
Let’s have a look at that...

Nature accepts itself, its cycles, its strength and its power ~ allowing these to become a force.
The acceptance of ourselves often goes hand in hand with our senses of self worth and self esteem. When we don’t hold ourselves in high esteem; when we don’t feel we are worth it ~ it becomes very hard to accept ourselves, our strengths, our power; not to speak of accepting the fact that we are meant to be at the right place a the right time to create the best circumstance possible for ourselves ~ as that is a part of life’s natural cycles...

Nature doesn’t feel guilty about things it is doing, or is not doing.
It seems we always find something we can feel guilty about! About having fun while we should be working; about working while we should spend more time with family and friends; about doing the things we really want to do rather than the things others are expecting us to do or vice versa. About something we said ~ or didn’t say... The list has no end!

Nature always bounces back. It doesn’t allow itself to get beaten down to the point of giving up.
Sometimes we may feel that we have tried so many times; that we have run into roadblocks on our path at every turn ~ that we come to a point of not even trying anymore... We can become convinced that whatever it is that we desire to achieve isn’t going to happen. Period.

Nature adapts and changes ~ sometimes a lot more rapidly than we realize...
Us humans tend to not like to change. We may even see problems in adapting to circumstances that are changing. We seem to be more comfortable staying exactly where we are, doing the things we do the way we have always done them ~ even when we find that what we are doing isn’t quite as effective or productive as it used to be...

Nature gives abundantly, yet will always take care of itself.
When we give of our energy or our time, we tend to do so from either one of two polarity perspectives ~ either we give and give and give, forgetting to take care of ourselves, our needs and desires; or we give while always keeping an eye on a possible return. “If I help you with this, I have a future favor to call in.”

So in a nutshell, nature may be teaching us to:
Know and accept ourselves just the way we are.
To be honest and true to ourselves and to stop feeling guilty about it.
To take a step back from what we had trouble achieving to see if there is another way to go about it. To embrace changes.
To take care of our own needs and desires, yet to give abundantly and without there being any strings attached.
