Astrology
I do not prescribe to astrology, but I find reading them fun and amusing. The other day, this is what my horoscope had to say:
Perfection exists only in your imagination, so you must stop expecting it in others.
This is very appropriate for me, as I am a perfectionist, and I waste much time trying to “make things perfect”. However, my real problem is my expectations of perfection from those I love and those to whom I am close. I raise them up on a pedestal and destined them to fall in my eyes and in my standing. This has led me much dissapointment over my lifetime, like when I realized that my father was not perfect and is instead a person with faults, or that having such expectations from your girlfriend/future wife is a recipe for doom. Over the years, I’ve tried to rein in these impossible expectations, but it still crops up. Being an expectant father, I am certain that I will have to try much, much harder. I am sure there is not much that is worst than expecting your child to be a model of perfection.
