Perfectionism

Quote

"Perfectionism doesn't believe in practice shots. It doen't believe in improvement. Perfectionism has never heard that anything worth doing is worth doing badly - and if we allow ourselves to do something badly we might in time become good at it."

- Julia Cameron "Finding Water: The Art of Perseverance"

My Thoughts

"Progress not perfection" is our guide; we are not saints as mentioned in the book of Alcoholics Anonymous. The point is that we're willing to grow along spiritual lines. We claim spiritual progress, not perfection.

Action for the Week

Today I'm going to practice doing the best I can. I am going to let go of the idea that what I do has to be perfect.
