I appreciate your kind words and thoughtful response. In my opinion, once you get too attached to the outcome of perfection, you leave presence by constantly think about future expectations and are less happy. Life has a tendency of giving you the struggles you need to grow, and then rewarding you with progress once you've struggled enough, and when things are going really well, the struggle hits you yet again. Life is constant highs and lows that trend upwards, but if you're persistent, you'll get to where you're supposed to go. Don't forget to savor the path you're on no matter how tough it gets. You only live once ;)
