I don't have to be perfect - just real.

I don't have to be perfect - just real.

Wednesday, 07 October 2009 12:09

I let go of perfection, knowing that it is an impossible goal. Instead, I embrace the goodness of who I am - faults and all. After all, only my Creator is perfect!

I set my self-improvement goals to specific, measurable levels that I know I can accomplish. I take realistic steps that lead to attainable goals. This way, I know I am getting better and better all the time. With each step I take, I am learning and growing, but I don't have to be perfect.

I am happy with myself. I know that most of the time I do my best and I forgive myself for sometimes doing less. After all, no one is perfect, and that's okay.

When I make a mistake, I admit it, do what I can to correct it, and learn from it. I realize that making mistakes is a natural part of being human. Rather than beating myself up about it, I move forward with no regrets.

I live in the moment. The past is done and the future is yet to come. What we have now is the present. This moment is what is real and I am a part of it. I am grateful for every precious moment and relish its possibilities.

Today, I plan to live life to its fullest, to enjoy each and every moment for what it can bring me, and I throw off the trappings of trying to exhibit perfection. I am what I am and that's fine with me!

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. In what ways do I strive for perfection?

2. Am I happy with myself?

3. Do I stress out about the past or future, or do I enjoy the reality of living in the moment?

Wealth Insight 2009-12-11 The Blessing Of Exponential Growth Say you put a drop of water into a watertight football stadium. Say that drop doubles every minute. After six minutes you’ll have a little puddle in the palm of your hand. And how much will you have after an hour? A cupful? A bowlful? Neither. After an hour the stadium will be full. Right up till the last few minutes it will be mostly empty. Then suddenly it will be full. Overflowing. The same... Read more...

I cried to God for years and asked him to free me from the slavery of using force in my working environment and everything that is financial related. Of course I didn’t use the exact words then, but I experienced the slavery of working day and night and to still bring in only a small and very limited amount of money each month. I know what that Read more...

I approached the Kaizen Challenge at first very skeptically mainly due to the fact that I have already started reading self improvement books and though I know it all already. I had some successes but mainly failures (and mostly in terms of money). I never realized why as I thought as I exhibiting the right behaviors and Read more...
