Perfection

“The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.” Anna Quindlen quotes (American bestselling Author and Journalist, b.1953)

“They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they’d make up their minds.” Winston Churchill quotes (British Orator, Author and Prime Minister during World War II. 1874-1965)

Is it too difficult to strive to be ‘good enough’ rather than ‘perfect’?

Notice how you procrastinate when you say to yourself that something needs some more work on it. Loosen up, just go for it and see what happens even if it (whatever ‘it’ might be) isn’t quite a perfect as you might have wished.

It (not perfect) could be better than not having it at all!

 

 

Quicker than you might imagine

If you tell me you have a goal which you want to achieve in a few years time because of considerations in relation to others (eg when the children are older) then I will challenge you! Do you know what the result of my challenging will be? You will realise that you are putting obstacles in your way and these can be removed quite easily!It is like magic. The things which stop you are your thoughts and these can be changed.
