Perfection is impossible. You don’t have to be perfect. Just do your best.
No, really. Just do your best. For too long, the desire to do everything perfectly ran my life. Perhaps it’s had the same effect on yours.
It’s so freeing to realize you don’t have to be perfect. We’re never gonna be anyway, so here’s to just doing our best and being at least reasonably at peace with the result.
Keep giving life your best, but don’t forget to give yourself a little grace along the way.
Have a great day!
Heard this today and it was a good reminder.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Here’s why it was a good reminder. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, for no particular reason. Just grumpy, frustrated, etc. That’s no fun.
Then, I heard the verse at church shortly afterward. The context was, how we have the ability to decide what to think about. We can focus on the junk, the negatives, and pretty much any other thought that will lead to defeat, be in short or long term.
We also have the option to thing about the type of things mentioned at the beginning of this post. Things that will lead us to a place of joy and peace, if we are willing to think about them instead of the other stuff.
This was good timing for me. Maybe it is for you. Here’s to focusing on the good instead of the not-so-good.
Have a great day.
You’re more talented than you think you are.
So…go ahead and put those negative thoughts in their place and use your talents! This world needs them.
Have a great day.

What if that thing you think you can’t do is actually something you can do?
