We are all probably very familiar with the beliefs that, “no one is perfect” and ”part of being human is making mistakes.” It is expected that people will make mistakes from time to time and will make choices that are not always the right ones. There are no perfect people in the world and everyone makes bad judgment calls at some point. Consequently, when people do make mistakes, although they are not proud of their actions, many people will excuse them and rationalize them as human error.
The alternaview:
The alternaview is that we should not let ourselves off the hook so easily, and while we recognize that yes, we are human, we realize we should be doing all we can to live life impeccably. This does not mean that we make ourselves feel guilty every time we make a mistake or a bad decision, but rather that we realize we really can live a life that is centered around and focused on living impeccably. We recognize that we really are capable of living life impeccably, if we are continually searching and striving to do what we know we should do. When we make mistakes, the problem is not really that we have made the mistake, but rather that in many instances, we have chosen to go against what we know is right.
Living impeccably also doesn’t mean that we over think and analyze everything we do before we do it. Living impeccably has to come from our heart, not our brain and it means that we are always sincerely seeking the right answer and trying to do the right thing. We are genuinely making the effort to make sure that all of our thoughts, behaviors, actions and decisions are coming from the right place and are aligned with what we know to be right.
There are a lot of people who live their life this way and meet this standard. They are also the same people who are very grounded, pleasant, happy, loving, and successful which suggests that there really must be something to this alternaview of living life impeccably.
Living impeccably is by no means a small feat. However, just by setting this as our goal and doing all we genuinely can to work toward living life impeccably, helps align everything in our life and keeps us on the right path. When we are really trying to live life impeccably, it applies to every aspect of our life and all of our actions and decisions.
When we genuinely want to integrate this alternaview into our life:
1. We focus on living impeccably. We identify all of our desire and goals and are dedicated to achieving them. We always choose to do those things that will move us in the right direction of accomplishing our goals and we aim to do those things very well. We don’t make excuses for slacking off. We do all that we can and what we know we should be doing to move ourselves in the right direction.
2. We treat people impeccably. We always consider how we are treating others and we do all we can to help and support them when it is appropriate and possible. We are genuinely interested in other people and we treat them well. We appreciate and enjoy other people. We listen and pay attention. We spend quality time with our family and friends.
3. We do both the little and big things impeccably. We desire to do everything the way it should be done, even the small things. We allow people to cut in front of us in traffic. We always say please and thank you. We exercise and eat the way we know we should. We complete all tasks really well.
4. We ensure our thoughts are impeccable. We make certain that the things we tell ourselves are true and we do not allow self defeating thoughts to run through our minds. We remind ourselves of our ability to achieve whatever it is we desire and work toward. We have confident thoughts.
Doing all we can to live life impeccably puts our focus in life where it should be. It is not that we don’t recognize we may make mistakes, but rather that we are truly dedicated in our hearts to doing the right thing and doing all we can to live life impeccably…this is the alternaview.
Can you say that you are doing all you can to live life impeccably?
