"Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord." -- Hebrews 12:14

Holiness is a loaded word.  Some believe to be holy, you have to be perfect.  But holiness is not perfection, it's more about being devout in your pursuit of God and God's will for your life.  If you seek holiness, you see that which is of God.  Too many dismiss the path of holiness because they say, "I'm not holy... I'm a sinner."  Well we are all sinners.  We are all human,  and thus we all fall.  But it doesn't mean we can't devote our lives to seeking to love God and others with all our hearts, minds, and spirits.  What is it you are seeking in your life?
