Pursuit of Happiness - Perfection

We all want a happy life. To find that happy life many people pursue things like a new job, a new home, a bigger vacation, or a bigger bank account. However, a job can be lost, a car can stop running, vacations are only temporary, and money can disappear. What happens to our happiness when the things we pursued passionately are gone? Perfectionism is one of the things we often pursue to secure happiness or peace, only to discover that it is a trap that distracts and discourages us from the very One who truly satisfies our soul – Jesus Christ. Perfectionism causes us to reject any standard or outcome unless it meets our definition of perfection.
