Perfection

Ask yourself what perfection looks like
What would it take to reach this mindset/reality?
What sacrifices would occur in the process?
Is the gain greater than the loss?

It is the loss that determines what perfection is to you
It weeds out our worldly mindset from who we are as individuals
Perfection isn't a result but a journey of the mind and body together

Being driven is only beneficial if you have a destination
The destination is only beneficial when you are surrounded by things not worth sacrificing
because sacrifice is only beneficial when the gain is positive.

Everything has consequence, everything requires choice
to pursue something new requires the loss of something old
Change for the sake of change doesn't prove advancement
unless what is new outweighs what is old.

Perfection is relative to personality.
What is the prefect version of you that
creates a positive change in the world around you?

Phillipians 3:7-14
But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Pressing on Toward the Goal Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus
