There comes a point where all of us have to make a choice in life.
Do we choose to keep searching for “better”, for a perceived perfect, or do we make a decision to be happy with what we have in front of us?
That’s a choice that is hard for many to make because society always talks about striving for more and better. To keep improving, advancing, and conquering.
What is often missed is that we can conquer as a team and still advance toward a pursuit of better, if we’d like.
We don’t have to do it alone.
Building a life with someone is a journey in itself. There will be highs and lows, constantly, but there will also be support, trust, and respect.
We will be able to communicate and game-plan together. We can make each other better.
So, as we nitpick every nuance and every “red flag” and decide which life path we should choose, remember this…Life is to be lived. It shouldn’t be perfect.
We aren’t perfect. And neither is anyone else.
But together, we can become the best versions of ourselves. We can raise the level of our skills together.
We can have someone volley the ball back to us and keep us on our toes, moving and growing.
That appears like a much better alternative than hitting the perfect shot with no one on the other side returning serve.
I know which game I’d rather play.
