You are a Work in Progress.
No matter how you try to be perfect, to be good at everything, become someone you very powerful- you can never be too good to be true.
When you act like you can do everything on your own and independent- stop it.
Self-reliance never pleases God. He wants to see us dependent and imperfect just as the way He created us to be.
Before, I thought that I can do things I set my mind into. It is not my fault to be born with less resources than others but it will be my fault if I die and still have nothing.
So I try to do better, look nicer, more skillful and matured even when people around me say otherwise but as I reflect upon this, I realized that perfection is impossible to us because only our Creator suits that word.
We all experience downfalls and obstacles in life that we wish to overcome to be better. We don't need to be perfect to conquer this imperfect world. We all struggle to finish any deadline. We struggle to make ends meet. We struggle in our studies. We struggle as someone's daughter or son in making our parents proud. We struggle to communicate and understand the people who think differently from us.
We desperately struggle to figure out what to do when we face challenges. We have freedom of choice from the options laid in front of us. When we run out of money, we have options either to ask for some loans or other people to lend us some. When we are in serious trouble of wrong decisions, we can either face it or run from it.
We obviously don't know the perfect solution to anything. We just have our best guess and look into statistics but the universal solution for everything is already given to us.
Pray for guidance. Seek for the Lord and trust Him completely.
Do your decisions please God?
We were, still are and will always be a work in progress.
Even if we are imperfect, Jesus Christ died because of us. He saved us from our sins by dying on the Cross. He wore the crown of thorns. His palms were engraved with nails. He was crucified without doing anything wrong- He just loves us to suffer death.
Remember how important you are. How enough you are. How loved you are. How precious your life is. Just try to live your life with grateful hearts. God never promised a problem-free life.
No matter how perfectly imperfect we are, remember that you are alive now because the Lord died for you.

Ahm although you didn't directly answered the given question, but in some way, your messages tells how to overcome challenges. Is this your old article or you made this just today? 😅
Anyway, as i read your title, i remember my article about beautiful imperfection. 😁
We aren't born perfect in this world, we are still on the process of finding ourselves. We always face obstacles and challenges, we always commit mistakes, we always forgot things, we always rely onto something or someone. But all those things happens for a reason. All those things are thrown to always remember God. Because without challenges, we forgot his existence. We forgot to say thank you, we forgot to pray, we forgot that all are given by God. And challenges are created not only to make Him remember, but also to make us stronger. To become a better person, to appreciate every single things we have, to be grateful by the life God gave us, and to accept the truth that, without him, we are nothing.
