Something I learned Today
Ok, what are we taught ever since we are born? To do things right! Right? Well I was taught that. Obey Mom and Dad, Get good grades, keep the commandments, read your scriptures, try not to make mistakes, be nice to others, be a good example to your siblings, be honest, keep your house clean, get your oil changed, get food storage, serve your neighbor, visit the sick, don't get into debt, da da da da da. So is it any wonder I am a perfectionist. I think deep down I have always known this, but this week I have began a journey to embraced it. You just can't be perfect, it will never happen in this lifetime. So what do you do? Do your best, it's all you can do. And if we never make a mistake what is the point of life? We learn very best from screwing things up and learning never to do it again. And how to do it better next time. We can't do it all or have it all, but we can be happy with what we do and what we have. This is just a little inspiration I received this week, so I thought I would share it.

You are so right. We are programmed to be perfectionists! It stinks to realize that we can't ever be perfect but once we figure it out, embracing it is the best next step.
