Hello all you perfect women out there. This blog is for you.

In reality this is for everyone, but it’s especially for all you perfect women. Because I spend so much time telling men to cut it out with the perfectionism, but you know what? It happens so much with the women I coach.

So I’m writing this for you, all of you perfectly perfect people. You are all so perfect. All of you are perfect. You are all beautifully perfect. All of your bodies are perfect, your minds are perfect, your experience in life has been perfect.

Okay, I think my sarcastic, wise-ass, New Yorker has made enough of a point for you.

I live in my body, and it’s imperfect. Sure it looks great, but I could rip it apart.

If I look at the way I handle certain things, as well-spoken as I am, I have emotions. So sometimes, I have imperfect thoughts.

Certainly I’m not the perfect dad, and I’m certainly not the perfect boyfriend.

I’m certainly not a perfect friend.

But I try to be the best imperfect that I can possibly be every day for people.

Why?

Because it’s the only way to live life.

And when it comes down to love, you better bet your bottom dollar that you’ve gotta embrace the imperfect.

Love is the most imperfect thing in the entire world.

Our heart is not exactly shaped like a perfect circle. It’s got little angles and curves and edges and all these imperfections.

There’s a lot of imperfection in a heart.

And when it comes down to love, it’s about accepting other people’s imperfections.

It’s amazing how we swipe, and we are trying to find the perfect person, the perfect body, the perfect mind, the perfect soul. What is this, mail order?

You might as well just call Jeff Bezos from Amazon and ask him to ship love as part of Amazon Prime.

That’s where we’re headed. Soon you’ll see, “Get love 100% free with your Prime membership!”

And maybe then — and only then — you would be able to basically order exactly what you want at the price that you want it.

If you truly desire a relationship, you have to embrace the imperfect.

Any time you’ve accepted the imperfect you and you’ve accepted the imperfect them, when all the imperfect stuff came up, you worked on those imperfect things together.

And that’s what love really is.

Love is NOT running at the first sign of trouble.

I’m tired of the runners. I hear runner stories all the time.

It’s amazing how many people run at the first sign of controversy in a relationship.

I don’t do that. If I run, and then I leave after I’ve exhausted every avenue.

Do you truly believe that when two people aren’t meant to be together? If you try, and no matter how hard you try it doesn’t work out, that’s the time to leave.

But I’ve been involved in relationships with people who are already halfway out the door at the first sign of anything going wrong. They can be in love with you one day and then not in love with you the next day, according to however they convince themselves.

But true love is embracing each other’s imperfections.

So, there’s a quick post for you today.

Read it. Take it in. And stop expecting so much perfection.

They’re not going to be perfect. And how you deal with that truth — that is really what determines whether or not you’ve got a shot at love.
