Think of the universe
as an endless sheet of paper
for you to write your thoughts upon.

When you aim for perfection you soon discover that
perfection is a moving target.

Even if you believe that you can never obtain perfection in your lifetime, you must still strive for excellence.
Consider the idea of excellence as an A+ for effort.

Anything that prevents you from becoming the best you that
you can become -- must be put aside.

What you are learning applies to you and no one else.
By the time you bring your perspective to someone else,
it has already changed.

Perspective can change
in the blink of an eye.
