Episode 147: Everything Is Perfect

In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about perfection. This past week, I\'ve been driving from Florida to Oregon. As I was driving through New Mexico, the car just blows. It stops. There\'s nothing I can do. I got it towed and now I\'m here doing this podcast in a very small town. I\'m going to use this story to help explain the concept of perfection because often when humans have a plan to do something, and we try to set it in motion, if it doesn\'t come out the way we expect it to, we think something\'s gone wrong. That, brothers, is the biggest misconception of the human experience!  During July in the Academy, we focus on the past. We focus on how the past may appear to be affecting you today even though it\'s not. The past is never affecting you today, only your thoughts about the past are affecting you today. Last week we spoke about how everything is a story. We live in a story of our world as we experience it, it is a story we tell ourselves.  Continuing from that, what I\'m going to introduce to you today in this podcast episode, is that everything is perfect.  You may ask, “How can things be perfect when so much badness, so much wrongness, so much negativity is happening in the world?” The first thing I\'m going to do is to define perfection. I\'m going to define perfect for you because that\'s where the big misunderstanding comes from. I\'m offering you what the definition of perfection is: that every moment, every moment of our life, every moment of time as it\'s experienced through the now, is excellent or complete beyond practical or theoretical improvement. Now, just because everything is perfect, and nothing is going wrong, it doesn\'t mean that you don\'t want the experience to be something different.  Today we are going to talk about how you don\'t need to agree with what is happening, it\'s about accepting what is happening as what is happening. Tune in to discover the power of working with what is happening as it\'s being offered to you in perfection, rather than pushing against it through resistance.   Want to know more about what I do and how I can help you?
