“Perfect Love” is an illusive concept that many will say doesn’t exist.

I say “Perfect Love” DOES EXIST! And it is closer than you think, you simply need to know where to look.

This magnificent affair began for me when I was very young and grew as I moved toward my teenage years. You may doubt the ability of a teenager to find “Perfect Love” or even to recognize it when it is there. Yet, this was clearly what happened to me. It began as a fascination, an infatuation and I quickly started spending many hours exploring what felt so natural and so good to me.

No, it’s not what you think. It is music and it soon began to consume larger and larger portions of my day. I started to not only appreciate it, I began to play. My guitars come in different shapes and colors and have very different tonal characteristics. Some are made from deep rich Mahogany and others come with brighter sounding woods, like maple and alder. There is no end to the excitement I feel when I have one of them in my hands. There is also an endless possibility of unbelievably cool accessories for them, proving at every turn the abundance of the universe. Items that I can buy for my dear ones that will help them sound smoother, or deeper, look brilliant, or look softer.

Once you recognize that gap, what happens next?

You want it fast! It’s the most natural thing in the world to want to navigate that gap as quickly as possible, to want to get “there” faster. And very naturally, two seemingly opposing forces come into play.

1. Getting something you want, something that you don’t have access to or aren’t experiencing now, requires change.

When your body or your life let’s you know you need to recharge, do you listen?
Or do you push?

Do you tell yourself all the reasons why you can’t, shouldn’t, or won’t rest?

Do you wait until you are wiped out, sick, physically sore, and emotionally challenged?

You have 24 hours and maybe a family to raise, a business to run, commitments to honor.

Absolutely essential to your success in any of those endeavors is creating support for regular rest and renewal.

I’m talking actual systems and plans here! If your typical response is, “I’m fine, I’ll have a cup of coffee,” then I am willing to bet money that your body hurts and you daydream of everything just stopping for a bit.

You can create regular time for self-care, and find that just a few minutes of simple breathing, a small luxury, a sunrise habit, or a special book supports your balance and clarity.
