When we seek happiness through accumulation, either outside of ourselves – from other people, relationships, or material goods – or from our own self-development, we are missing the essential point. In either case we are trying to find completion. But according to Buddhism, such a strategy is doomed. Completion comes not from adding another piece to ourselves but from surrendering our ideas of perfection.

So perfect…
that is a good thought for a Monday morning. Thank you.
Your quotes always fit my frame of time and take me to a deeper place in my soul. Thank you so much! You are one of my Spirit Guides!
Tough concept but it’s true – there is no such thing as completion or perfection.
