PERFECT?..................NOT!!
I have discovered that I have perfectionist tendancies. (for myself) I expect myself to be perfect, to not mess up, to never say the wrong thing, to never have a bad attitude, to never make a mistake at work.......etc. Is that realistic? I don't think so....all it does is put added stress where there doesn't need to be. We will never be perfect while we live on this Earth. To expect ourselves to be is just stressful. I am learning to allow myself grace, learning to laugh at myself when I do something silly, learning to say I am sorry and realizing it doesn't mean anything other than I am human.
I am still not there. It's like a tape recorder in my head, I have to learn to pause it and then replace it with good thoughts not condemning.
It's a journey......

I like what you said, "it's a journey". That is something that I have been learning. I will never be there and even after God shows me something, I need to leave Him room to show me more. Like you, I have been learning to find joy in the journey rather than the destination. Love ya, Debbie.
