Believe in it.
Create it.
"If you look for perfection, you'll never be content." - Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina.
Nobody is perfect | No relationship is perfect | There is no perfect job | There is no perfect time.
Yet, you are entitled to see yourself as perfect while recognizing your flaws, to think your relationship is the perfect one for you and that you could not dream of a more perfect job to suit you or a perfect time to do what you are about to do.
Nevertheless, I see and I hear people around me looking for perfection - in their life, job, partners. You can't actually look for perfection, you have to create it. There is no perfect moment unless you decide to define it as being one. You have to create your perfect relationship, it won't appear alone. You are the one believing that this partner is perfect and if you don't believe it, then yes, of course he/she is not perfect for you.
There is this funny thing in Spanish, 2 different verbs become the same when you conjugate them to the first person singular: Crear (To create) and Creer (To believe) - Yo creo. And I think for perfection, you have to believe and create it at the same time. Everything, every moment, everyone will be perfect only and always according to you. Perfection, as well as beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
