So I was having a "morning." You know. You've had them. You start out pretty optimistic, then all of a sudden you're in the midst of putting out fires you have no time for. There goes the "plan." There goes that few precious moments of actual accomplishment. Needless to say, I was "off." Which as a woman can happen on a regular basis - emotions, you know. At just the right time a friend calls me. He had no idea I was in the mental place I was; however, he quickly found out! But this is one friend who does not intimidate easily. He proceeds to tell me a mantra to say..."Progress not Perfection." This is not just for people that I am working with, but for myself.
How often I forget that I can never be perfect. No matter how hard I may strive for it, "we all fall short of the glory of God." Even a transformation specialist needs to be reminded. It's ok to be a work in progress - because that's what we are! There should be more fun in the construction of it...and the redecorating. I prefer excellence over perfection. I'll aim for balanced, joyful, content in all things, finding adventure around every corner, progressing to my fullest potential, and living life abundantly.
So say it with me...Progress not Perfection, Progress not Perfection, Progress not Perfection...
