Motivation Mondays: Perfect Conditions
“You cannot afford to wait for perfect conditions. Goal setting is often a matter of balancing timing against available resources. Opportunities are easily lost while waiting for perfect conditions.” Gary Ryan Blair

If everything was perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow. Beyonce Knowles
Nothing is perfect. Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. People are irrational. Hugh Mackay
PERFECT CONDITIONS: Happy National Sibling Day! What are you waiting for? Do you have a sibling you need to reach out to and rebuild a relationship with? Do so. Our life on planet Earth comes with unforeseen challenges and conditions. We can choose to see the situations as barriers to our goals or as hurdles to jump over. We can sit around waiting for the perfect conditions to move forward with our lives, or accept that we are perfectly imperfect and that the best time to get things done is now. My Pastor, who keeps us inspired and often makes us laugh out loud, offered five tips that I will expand on in this post. I have added a sixth tip as a bonus. We all need to be reminded that perfection is not a requirement for living a fulfilled life and that to fail is to live.
1. Live life with a sense of urgency – When we live in the present with a commitment to get things done, we will accomplish more because we are not putting off our goals/dreams. We are doing the work that needs to be done and the prize dances before us.
2. Challenge your endless excuses – We all have times in our lives when we procrastinate for a whole slew of reasons. We put things off because we don’t feel like it or are afraid to deal with them. Yet when we finally make the effort to face a wall that has stood in our way and tackle it, we soon find out how easy it was to traverse. So, let go of the excuses. Write your goals down, visualize them, and act on them. Even baby steps are better than zero steps.
“In nature, nothing is perfect, and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful.” Alice Walker

We see the world through the lens of all our experiences; that is a fundamental part of the human condition. Madeleine M. Kunin
So as long as I’m a human being and I’m not perfect, I’m able to say I’m having some growing pains. Mary J. Blige
IMPERFECT CONDITIONS: What would you choose if this was the only day you get to create a perfectly imperfect life? In a perfect world, all our plans would fall into place, and things would unfold just as we imagined, but that is not reality. Things unfold in direct and indirect ways, and if we surrender to the process, we will be wonderfully surprised by the achievements that come our way.
3. Do it today … start now – Don’t put off facing the areas of your life that need help and healing. What do we want for our family? Relationships? Finances? Health? Mental health? Face them squarely and begin rebuilding your life.
4. Be comfortably uncomfortable – Instead of playing it safe all the time, practice reaching out to be a source of goodwill to others. Encourage at least 3 people every day, and as you grow comfortable doing so, increase that number to X. As we grow comfortable in our own bodies, we will no longer see others as a threat or envy them. We will be able to reach out and encourage them. Try it. Come back for the rest below.

The Thankful Bird by Anon
There was a bird who lived in a desert; very sick, no feathers, nothing to eat and drink, no shelter to live in.
One day, a dove was passing by so, the sick and unhappy bird stopped the dove and inquired:
“Where are you going?”
The dove replied:
“I’m going to heaven.”
So the sick bird said:
“Please find out for me when my suffering will come to an end.”
The dove said:
“Sure. I will,” and bid goodbye to the sick bird.
The dove reached heaven and shared the message of the sick bird with the angel at the entrance gate.
The angel said:
“For the next seven years of its life, the bird has to suffer like this. No happiness until then.”
The dove said:
“When the sick bird hears this, he will get disheartened. Could you suggest any other solution for this?”
The angel replied:
“Tell him to recite this verse: Thank you God for everything.”Days later, the dove on meeting the sick bird again, delivered the message of the angel to it.
After 7 days, the dove was passing by again and saw that the bird was very happy. Feathers grew on his body, a small plant grew up in the desert area, and a small pond of water was even there. The bird was singing and dancing cheerfully.
The dove was astonished. The angel had said there would be no happiness for the bird for the next seven years. With this question in mind, the dove went back to visit the angel at heaven’s gate.
The dove put forth his query to the angel.The angel replied:
“Yes, it is true that there was to be no happiness for this bird for the next seven years but, because the bird was reciting Thank you God for everything in every situation, his life changed. When the bird fell in the hot sand he said; Thank you God for everything. When it could not fly it said; Thank you God for everything. When it was thirsty and there was no water around it said; Thank you God for everything. Whatever the situation, the bird kept on repeating Thank you God for everything …. therefore, 7 years got dissolved in 7 days.
The narrator: (paraphrased) When I heard this story, it helped me to shift my life in every way. I shared it with everyone; my friends, family, co-workers and even strangers. It had a deep impact on my life and helped me to remember how the power of gratitude can change our attitude…. be humble and you will never stumble.

I think music is a lifting force, I think love is the lifting force in the human condition… David Crosby
To practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness. Confucius
Perfection Is Stagnation: What does perfectly imperfect look like? How are you living the last 2 tips? Yes, I added one more as a bonus. I don’t know about you, but over the years I let all sorts of excuses and others’ expectations of me stand in the way of my dream. I hold myself 100% accountable for those limitations. When we find a path that resonates in our spirit, we owe it to ourselves to pursue it; explore it, engage it, delve into it fully.
5. Live with Passion – To live a passionate life is not to live a life that is contained and controlled by societal norms. We must leap with both feet into the air and embrace what calls us. It might take a decade or two to get there, but if our passion is real, we will find ways to stay fired up and keep pressing on. I look at entertainers in the creative arts- music, fashion, dance, writing, and more- and their achievements didn’t come so easily. While the successes of some might seem like an overnight sensation, in reality, many have struggled for years to hone their craft, get their music heard, get a publisher to believe in their book, and get their creative expressions delivered to the rest of us. It is the stick-to-it attitude that makes a huge difference. Perseverance and Passion are necessary tools for success. Stick to your goals, and when you fail, believe that your perceived failure is success trying to be born in a bigger way in your life. Don’t give up.
6. Be a Blessing to Others – When we wish others well, the stars shower us with grace and goodwill. It is a mistake to believe that because you have X, you should stand in the way of others getting their X. A candle is never diminished by sharing its light. When we help others grow, we grow. Take care of your health; encourage others to do the same. Save the judgments for the trash can and burn them in a symbolic funeral pyre. Walk at least 10,000 steps every day, and remember that others need encouragement to journey as far or farther. What we give, we receive. What we withhold will wither away. Stay connected to people who inspire you and know that you are an inspiration to someone too. I’m getting off my soapbox now. Stay inspired!
Have a happy, peaceful, and productive week ahead!

Perfectly imperfect sums up life with my toddler right now. I love our time together and know it is fleeting, but the best laid plans can fall apart at any moment.
I just had this conversation with someone else tonight. How we come up with obstacles that aren’t real or aren’t that big of a deal to keep us from getting things done. Things will never be perfect you just have to deal with the way things are and keep moving forward.
Stunning photos that represents this topic. Waiting for perfect days will not lead us anywhere. It is important to live in the moment
Get back on that soap box Elizabeth 😀 I loved what you said. Even when things seem so bad and so unfair there is always something to be grateful for, even if it’s just because you’re learning a valuable lesson that will help you along your journey.
To me perfectly imperfect is normal life for me, if life was perfect everyone would have to job that they wanted and wouldn’t struggle.
This all very insightful. I try my very best to live a happy life and embrace what i have and these around me.
I totally agree – there’s no such thing as – ‘perfect circumstances’. What we have is only here and now – and it’s worth trying to use it as good as we can:_
Always love your motivational post… and lovely photography skill.. nice group of photos..
Wow, these images are absolutely gorgeous! I love how still and calm these visuals immediately made me.
I love this post it’s very motivational and I’m loving all the pics of nature!
So beautifully written “What we give, we receive. What we withhold, will wither away.” WIth post resonates with me, I find I often try and perfect things and get caught up fussing over small details. When really what I should have done was be happy throughout the whole process and admire what I create and not criticize myself for the flaws.
Every written words are very true..
It’s so true that we don’t have to be perfect to live a good life! If we all show love and compassion for one another- even though we are not perfect and life is not perfect- we can still be happy!
Another excellent post! I agree that sometimes we have to enjoy life, stop putting things on hold and get out there, be thankful for what we have and when things are not so good treat them as challenges, ride the storm and keep counting the blessings we have until it gets better. Its not always that easy of course but with a sense of gratitude for all we have around us and willing to push on makes a huge different. As for siblings, I love my sister dearly. We’ve never had a big argument, life is too short and family is too precious; Also I loved the story of the bird!
Nobody is perfect in this world and even the most genius person is not perfect, what we need to do is to learn on how to embrace yours and others imperfection and that will make us better persons.
I could really use all those four reminders in this post. I’ve been putting off some passion projects for a while now because of lack of motivation or maybe because I was just making an excuse to start working on it? Either way, thank you for this super motivational read!~
I do have siblings I’ve been trying to reach out to. When I moved 1100 miles away from him, my brother got really upset. He keeps begging me to convince my new husband to move back to Kansas so we can live closer to him. But my life is here in WV now.
Wow nice, A good article, full of joy and joy. Pictures are unreal beautiful. Thanks a lot of good emotions.
Being uncomfortable is probably the biggest challenge for me! I like to stay in my comfort zone and not go through the anxiety of pushing my limits.. but being that it’s motivation Monday, it’s time for me to try something new!
Honestly, I believe the word “perfect” should be removed from the dictionary. It is such a misnomer. We chase something that doesn’t exists.
Excellent viewpoint. I love where you are coming from with this. Thanks for the encouraging words!!
I guess we’re all perfectly imperfect, and waiting for opportunities is never a good idea. I , myself, am an adept in creating opportunities, in working hard and believing…I think that in the end of the day that’s bound to work!
Didn’t know it was National Siblings Day – I best go message my sisters! Love the calming pictures and motivation for this week 🙂
Thank you for this encouragement – so needed to drink in these words of wisdom today! This is a perfect post for Mondays and for siblings, both perfectly imperfect =). Love The Thankful Bird! ❤️
These are great reminders. I am the type who often put things off because I don’t want to deal with it. You have lots of great tips. Living life with an urgency is the one I will utilize from today! Great read!!
I had no idea it was siblings day! But I am a single child, so I guess that’s why. I’m totally behind you about not waiting for the perfect conditions. The perfect moment never comes. If you want to do something, you’ve just got to do it!
I love the advice to reach out to people. I’m maturally an introvert. What a great way to challenge myself and – hopefully – inspire others!
I just wrote about how perfectionism and wanting to be perfect is nonexistent. It does nothing but hold us back and keeps us in doubt or fear for the outcome. This is an amazing motivational post.
Oh snap! THANKS FOR REMINDING ME! Gotta text the siblings!!
What a great reminder to not wait for our conditions to become “perfect” before taking action. We can instead create our own perfectly imperfect conditions and take action that moves us forward.
I did not know that today was National Siblings Day! I have one brother and he means the world to me! I will have to give him a call today!
Great advice. Perfection is often elusive and we all need to embrace that appreciate what we do have.
You especially don’t want to put off what needs healing. Those are things that matter most because they have the power to hinder the most as well!
All your perfect conditions made me feel so calm and serene while reading and listening to music!
This is such an awesome and inspiring post. I must admit that I really enjoyed reading through it.
I believe in the concept of perfectly imperfect, because how do we know that something is perfect if you’ve never seen any flaw? Despite being the burden, just like what queen B says, if everything was perfect, no one would ever learn or grow. Flaw grows you as a person. 🙂
Thank you for all the inspiration you provide. Right now is always the perfect moment. It took me awhile to understand that, but I am glad I understand it now!
I love coming in this website every week. Each week, it remind me to do something good to myself, friends, or family. This week reminder is Happy Siblings Day! All my siblings are living in the other part of the world and you have reminded me to give them a call or trying to connect with them. Thank you!
I think everyday should be national sibling day, life is so short that we should always appreciate and remember just how special they are to us and we are to them.
Ah a lovely post. I love the idea of being outside of our comfort zones, always great to push! Also I love nature so your pictures totally resonate with me 💚
“No perfect condition” is so true! We have to start from now, as there will be no other day.
Great post! And it’s so true, if we waited for things to be perfect before we finally act, we’d never get anywhere!
I always say perfection doesn’t exist, it’s a made up concept that slows people down. We all believe in perfection at one time or another. I struggle with procrastination at times and it can be a hindrance.
I often find that it’s really difficult for me to find what motivates me. A lot of times there are things that I want or like but it’s really hard for me to get there. I’m constantly struggling with finding motivation in everything I do.
Mary J. Blige is so right about growing pains. Conditions for growth are never perfect but we need to thrive despite the odds!
I love all of your positive messages! The photos in the collage are beautiful too 😀
For me, there’s no such thing as perfect conditions. It’s all about adaptability and flexibility to changes.
This post is so accurate. I learned years ago that happiness is not something that we finally reach it is the moments in between if we grab them, appreciate them. If we always wait for the place in life that is happiness, that we have maintained happiness we will never reach it.
Such a beautiful and inspiring post. Waiting for perfect conditions can indeed lead to stagnation and failure but on the other hand, taking chances and trying can make things work better. I like all the points you mentioned, especially “Be a blessing to others”.
We can’t live a life chasing after perfection because it’s never going to happen. It’s human to have flaws. I think this is a good reminder for all of us. Life is not about being perfect, it’s about embracing our imperfections.
These are all really great motivating sayings. My favorite is to live with passion. I agree that being your true self and living out your passions you’ll definitely be happier!
Really great and inspiring tips. I love the quotes. Thank you for sharing.
I constantly have endless excuses. I need to get out of the habit of that. When I don’t focus on them I can accomplish so much! I loved reading this. I am a sucker for goals and this helped!
I totally agree in encouraging others and being a source of good will. Family is the focus at the moment getting us to a healthy happier place.
Perfection in world for me is pretty close to symmetry. It looks both beautiful and strangly hypnotizing.
your ways to be perfect for yourself are so proper – I can’t really add anything to it
These are such beautiful photos. I especially like the balanced stones.
I love these pictures! They are quite inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
Love your Monday motivation theme and all of the tips here. Some really awesome quotes as well!
Why is this dated for September 2018, when it’s barely April? Great post, otherwise.
Nevermind. I was looking at the date wrong haha. Tired brain.
I think it’s very important for us to challenge our excuses, so that we are living the best life possible. We need to move forward in spite of obstacles.
For me, there’s no perfect conditions. It’s all about adaptability and all about survival. Sometimes flaws can be beautiful too. You just have to look into it in an optimistic way.
So motivated after reading this! Thank you for this!
This was such an inspiration, and a great reminder to make amends and not to put off for tomorrow what could be done today,
Interesting. I’ve never heard of Sibling Day!
Perfect conditions are just not possible. If its too goo to be true, most probably it isn’t true! Perfect conditions are like that. We just stride along, with the given conditions.
That’s such a beautiful blog you have out. A reminder to self that we should live for thr present and pursue things with all the heart. Glad to read this
honestly so glad i ran into this post. the sentiment about perfect conditions and urgency is so true and important. really good stuff
Couldn’t agree more. After a cancer scare we are traveling and doing more. Not waiting for retirement.
As usual, your images and words make us think and reflect on the important things of life. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
What an inspiring post! Sometimes I keep on procrastinating things waiting for the right time. But there’s nothing called a right time or as you said, ‘perfect time’! I need to challenge my excuses and start acting now!
Most of these celebrated day I did not know about. I had never heard of National Sibling Day but I do like it. Very informative post. I love your quotes and I especially like The Thankful Bird by Anon. Great job!
Perfect conditions or timing is always what it seems like people are waiting for when it comes to things in their lives. If you do this, you may just be waiting forever! Great post 🙂
There is always a challenge of giving excuses when we face issues. I really benefitted from this post. Thanks for sharing this article.
It’s definitely a very motivational post and great pictures.
Lots of great reminders here. I am definitely a perfectionist so it’s sometimes difficult for me to not have time to finish things the way I want to. I love all these quotes about how perfect is not possible. Being imperfect makes us human.
Mondays are the days I definitely need the most motivation!
Reading this just affirmed something I have been thinking of lately. I am a perfectionist and I was waiting until all the conditions were perfect before I started the blog. Now I am so glad I got over that and did it!
I don’t believe in waiting for the perfect time because it will never come. It’s just an excuse that we make so that we can put off something that we need to do in life. We have to take that first leap/step.
As much as possible we want things to be perfect, right? However, aiming for perfection sometimes leads us to something else, sometimes a disaster. Anyway, not all things are perfect, and that’s the beauty of it. We should take that opportunity, and not wait for the right moments because it will never come again.
Excellent motivational post. The Thankful Bird by Anon is an amazing educational story.
This is very inspiring. Reading this is such a nice way to start my day thoughtfully.
I love how you have started your post on perfecting by celebrating siblings day. My sister and I live in different countries and reading this made me feel like I wish she was here right now.
Very insightful, I always feel better when I finish my to do list quickly. Yet sometimes the items are difficult and you just don’t want to do them, but then the worry of not doing them builds. Thanks!
I love this advice! My sister and I are total opposites and sometimes it’s hard to connect but I know that life is short and I do love her so I try to reach out. It’s so important to love your siblings and stay connected!
I need to learn to just jump in and do it. I always postpone things, waiting for the ‘perfect conditions’.. but there are not perfect conditions. Only the hear and now.
Sibling day is special in our family. I have two older sisters that are twins. They had not seen each other in 45 years, one is in England and the other in The US. When One came and visited me in the US from England last year we did a road trip to see her twin in Colorado After 45 years we were all together again for an emotional reunion.
That Gary Ryan Blair quote at the beginning of this post really hit home for me. Lately, I’ve been putting off so much, waiting for the right time to do it, that I have done basically nothing for my goals.
Thank you for the motivation and sharing all the lovely quotes.
I love your posts. They are great and I always look forward to them, especially when you share a video or song. 🙂
I’ve learned to stop feeding in to the endless excuses! Also, Awesome quotes to write down to remind myself with!
What an inspiring post. After reading I feel even more positive.
There are many opportunities to do volunteer work. And it’s a great opportunity to get involved helping others.
Live with passion is something that is on my resolutions of 2018 list! Social norms are definitely not the way to live passionately, so I have stepped out of my comfort zone and have tried to embrace whatever calls to me. Love this post, it’s a great reminder to not wait for perfect conditions, but just go for it now!
The quote by Mr. Blair is so true. I spend my early twenties waiting for perfect opportunities that NEVER presented themselves. Lesson learned. Thanks for sharing!
Thankfully, my siblings and I are pretty close. So close that we actually live next to each other, haha! 🙂
