You and I are already perfect.
You may be in hell, but you are perfect in your hell. My perfection isn’t a millimetre taller or shorter than your perfection.
I’m as perfect as perfect can be.
So are you.
What if you and your life are already perfect with a perfection that can’t be added to or taken away from?
Seriously!
Try saying it out loud: “I’m as perfect as perfect as perfect can be….”
