PERFECT OR WE’RE NOT GOING

“Perfect or we’re not going”

When does this rule apply?  It doesn’t apply to anyone we’ve ever hired.  It doesn’t apply to anything we’ve ever purchased.  It doesn’t apply to any project we’ve sponsored.  Or anyone we’ve ever voted for, dated or befriended either.  In fact, it’s a great excuse for the things we’re afraid to do, or where our inclination is to say no anyway.  If you’re hoping for inaction, look for perfect.

REFLECTION:

  • Is the need for it to be “perfect” preventing you from taking action on something?
  • How can you take a step toward something you want to do accepting possible (probable) imperfection?
  • Release the need for it to be perfect!
