You can’t let go of this project until it’s perfect...
You can’t have this discussion until your comments are perfectly rehearsed...
You can’t move forward until you know how it will all play out...
Really?
How much of your energy is spent thinking, and re-thinking, about the action you want to take? How much time are you wasting working toward perfection?
Has being perfect become an excuse for you? Perfection can move from a need, to a wonderful excuse for not moving forward, in the blink of an eye. Lack of perfectionism isn’t about being lazy or doing things half way, it’s about understanding the natural progression some things take. How are we possibly going to know how a situation will play out unless we make our first move?
If you are spending too much time analyzing and rehashing the situation, you are stuck in your thinking mind. This loop will create zero momentum. Step out of your thinking mind and connect to your higher vision...and take inspired action!
Inspired action is based upon trust. Trust in your instincts. Trust in your talent. Trust in the fact that everything will be o.k. Take action based upon knowing these things.
Our thinking mind, the one that loves perfection, can truly limit your grow---and success. Yes, you may fail at some things. Yet you will never have any chance of success unless you take action. Any action equals progress.
And remember, there is really no such thing as being perfect. Be perfectly happy knowing that.
To your continued success!
