Dedicated to confronting life's distress. Pursuing and promoting internal liberation.
A brother and predecessor of mine was asked to speak at a speaker jam. (a special recovery event were there are multiple speakers back to back, each given a specific topic)
This was a man I had known since I was 16. At the time he had close to 30 yrs in 12 step recovery.
“If practice makes perfect, but nobody is perfect. Then Why Practice?”
This was a question I once heard during a group conversation. It was several years ago, and I was not prepared for such a question. Quite honestly, it completely stumped me. And over the years I have found myself pondering that very question.
We practice towards perfection, not for the attainment of perfection. But for the growth of the experience. I practice because I want to be better than I am.
