I *think* this will be the last "success" post for awhile. It's just something that I've really been ruminating on and - truth be told - struggling with. Amazingly enough, though, I think I learned what I needed to, and that is this resounding message to myself:
Message received, loud and clear! My biggest problem is also what makes me so good at whatever I am attempting: my perfectionism. Perfectionism is truly a double-edged sword. It causes my production to be of great quality, but it also prevents me from moving forward at times until I have reached "perfection." Newsflash to myself: I'm NOT perfect! Therefore, I will not always have perfect results!! Anyone else have that issue? Sometimes, I just need to do something - whether it be to blog, to exercise, to plan, to reach out to people, whatever - and whatever I do will be good enough. I struggle with the concept of "good enough." The problem with not accepting "good enough" is, often, waiting for perfection means waiting forever. And I cannot afford to wait forever!! Can anyone?
So, perfectionism is my downfall, but what is yours? How are you standing in your own way? Remember:
