LOTTMAN Most of us exit from childhood with dreams of perfection. We will be the top NHL star or world champion figure skater. We will meet the perfect husband or wife. We will have the perfect marriage and raise per- fect children in the pet- fect house. We will find a top job leading to a perfect career. One of the basic tasks of adulthood is being able to come to grips with a reality that is less than perfect. We must develop the courage to live with imperfections. Accepting the imper- fections of others.is dif- ficult; accepting our own imperfections requires a particularly demanding brand of courage. Faults are easier to view through windows than in mirrors.

These are peo- ple who have become discouraged about their own imperfections. Un- able to accept themsel- ves as less than per- fect, they settle for 'proving' themselves to be "hetter" than somebody else. Unfor- tunately, this some- body else is most often another member of the family. Their spouse, child or parent is always the one who is "wrong."' Family con- flicts are always some- body else's fault. Such individuals can keep up their own self esteem only by planting them- selves firmly on top of the feelings of their loved ones. Often these people aren't aware of the bitter toll their self serving style exacts. Years later-they stand amid the ruins of a marriage, confront the hatred of an adolescent son or daughter, or suf- fer the rejection of a parent, asking **What happened?" They truly don't understand how destructive they've been. Don't misunder- stand. The individual who courageously ac- cepts his imperfections is not one who is content to remain the way he is. On the contrary, he is secure enough to want to continue the struggle to improve. The cour- ageous person measures his own growth by where he's been, where he is and where he wants to be. The dis- couraged individual, on the other hand, is only concerned with who's ahead and who's be- hind. He knows he's not in the lead so he is content with making sure he defeats some- one else. He's convinc- ed he cannot be a winner so he only struggles to make someone else the loser. Helping such an indi- vidual or family is a process of encourage- ment. It's not simply a matter of giving them advice. By the time they reach the office of a mental health profess- ional they've had advice up to their ears. Family, friends, co-workers (and even newspaper arti- cles) have all given them "the answers." En- couragement is the pro- cess of giving not merely advice, but experi- ences, most important- ly, the experiences of being understood and genuinely cared for.
