I came across this quote last week while reading an article about the new Muppets movie [seriously, I cannot stress how fantastic this film was!] and I thought it was just delightful:
Kermit the Frog on his co-stars: "An awful lot of the guys aren't that good at what they do. I like to sing but, let's face it, I'm no Frank Sinatra. Miss Piggy is an actress who's not a great actress. Fozzie's not a very funny comedian. Gonzo's a horrible stunt guy who always gets hurt. We are excellent failures. Maybe that's a lesson in and of itself."
So many times I think we get too hung up on being perfect. We don't take into account how our flaws, both big and small, make up such an important part of our personality. I wouldn't say I'm perfectly imperfect - I'm far from it. But I've come to accept that I have a ridiculous sense of humour - the cornier joke the better! That I'm not the coolest kid on the block - but I think that's part of my charm. I'm stubborn to a fault - I hate to ask for help. I can get my back up over things that perhaps wouldn't even phase others.
But that's ME. So many others have all these quirks, too, but no two people will ever share the exact same ones. And that's what makes us all so unique. And hopefully lovable.
