You’re not perfect, and that’s something you should never worry about. If you’re worrying, and fretting, and always thinking about how you can or could be perfect, you’re really going to limit how much good you can do for others in this world.

Do you have words and music in your heart? You don’t have to be a singer songwriter or composer or poet. You only have to be still and listen.
