I found a beautiful shoe
It wasn't my favourite blue
So I cast it aside and continued my search
I had to forfeit it for you
But I found another shoe
And this time it was blue
But not quite the shade, although it was close
I wouldn't mistake it for you
So where's my perfect shoe
With that perfect shade of blue.
I know you are there, won't settle for less
I'll seek till I find you
And to the mockers that stare
I'll give them no ear
'cos they'll have to find theirs too. ha ha!

Getting things we desire when we desire them is usually not as easy as guessing where the sun will rise from. In the course of our search or strive for what we desire, most times, we find some 'good-enoughs' which tempt us to consider searching no further.
"After-all, we don't always get what we want", so "what assurance have we that what we have found so far isn't the possible closest to the 'perfect' we could get?",some may probe.
We can't be too sure, can we? but if I, sincerely, haven't exhausted my reachable search area, stretched my ability (to perceived limit), prayed convincingly hard enough and listened receptively enough for the available space of time within which the necessity of my desire remains valid then taking anything less could be justified as hypocritical to my professed desire.
Notions like "When the desirable is not available, the available becomes the desirable" often only threaten determination to achieve the best. However, not so easily for those who realize one truth. The unavailability of the desirable is most times only within limits of timing and effort (resources and determination). If these are not exhausted then one may only be justified to assert that "When the desirable is not available-for how much effort one is ready to spare and within the limit of time one is willing to search-, the then available becomes the then desirable". For nothing is truly unavailable to the man who hasn't tried all he could for as long as he could.
So weigh it! Take what you've found knowing you searched only so much -and stand the risk of regret- or keep on the search till you find the perfect shoe or discover it doesn't exist-which you couldn't have been sure of if u didn't try hard enough.
