We will never be perfect. Either will they.
What’s important is that we never accept imperfection. We wake up fresh and ready, every day, to try again.
We wake up happy to spend another day practicing at being better, helping others to be better.
We practice at being better, not perfect, just a little better.
It’s a marathon. Prepare for it. Eat right. Sleep well. Train often. Pace yourself. Focus.
And always have plan B. Bus fare in your pocket just in case.
Be a rebel. Don’t test similar. Test extremes.
Small variations of the norm result in small changes. Mine for the big change, the big ah ha!
And keep in mind “test” versus “bank the farm”.
Test extremes. Implement incrementally.
Every end, even the horrible ones, mark the start of a beginning. The next chapter.
Don’t like the current chapter. End it. Start a new one.
The chapter ended abruptly, was ripped from you, doesn’t matter, start a new one.
This bothers me.
Change it or eliminate it.
Don’t want the conflict? Would rather procrastinate and just keep grumbling?
Stop. Choose either to stop complaining and allowing what isn’t important to affect you.
Or
Change or eliminate the problem.
Be responsible. Choose to be bothered or not. And if bothered take action. Otherwise shut up and get on with it.
