*BEYOND* PERFECT.

What do you do once you get the perfect body and physique, the perfect car, perfect kid and wife, perfect camera, perfect lifestyle, etc?

Simple —

We must strive to go BEYOND “perfect”.

Perfect is a trap

To achieve perfect isn’t that hard. I think I’ve actually been able to make a handful of perfect blog posts and photos.

But perfect is a trap, a cul-de-sac and dead end.

Pushing beyond

Once you’ve achieved perfect, consider yourself dead. The never ending quest for better, stronger, and more perfect is the goal!
