I came across Brene’s post at Ordinary Courage about her Perfect Protest. It’s a quick and insightful read. She invited people to link back to her site with a Perfect Protest sign of their own. This looked like fun, so I made up my own sign, set the self-timer on the camera and this is my take. Play along too, if you’re so inclined. She’s written a book along the same lines, The Gifts of Imperfection.
I think we waste so much time and energy in striving for PERFECTION! Really…..who are we trying to impress? And is it even worth it? Now striving for mastery (excellence) is different.
Perfectionism is a thief:
- steals your joy
- steals your time
- steals your vision
- steals your passion
- steals your ability to be a beginner
- steals your compassion
- steals your acceptance
