Be Comforted

You are to individuate and self-perfect. These goals suffice for any human being, and God is satisfied with our best efforts here; we must be content with such production and output too. We will not reach perfection. We will not topple nor rival God in talent or creating. Only God is brilliant at all things, the real polymath. Humans deserve accolades if they become gifted and proficient at one or two tasks or assignments. At other things the individual must work hard for mastery and excellence, over-learning it just to be a competent or respected performer. It is effete to hate oneself for not perfecting at these tertiary tasks, for none have the time and talent to be perfect at everything that she puts her hand to. She is just limited, period. She has to just live with these biological and spiritual boundaries. She has to accept limitations, loving and forgiving herself. She must be at peace, ceasing to fuss over something that she will never control. She would only be bad and lazy in her eyes or God's eyes if she did not push herself to excel up to her predefined limits.
