Get To The Point! - Personal Practice

Sometimes you need to take a few steps back to take a leap forward.

The more aware I become of myself and that patterns that define my day to day existence, the more overwhelming it can be.

I “thought” I was moving in the direction I needed to in order to accomplish my goals, but when challenged to look at the direction I was taking I realized it all looked perfect on paper.  However it wasn’t realistic.

Sometimes your own self-motivation is not enough and you need a fresh perspective to see the flaws in all that you think you know.

So I found myself angry and frustrated this past week because I thought I had all the answers and my plan to achieve the goals I have set for myself were clearly laid out.  Now I see from a fresh perspective of someone else that I am perfect, perfectly flawed that is!  

What a relief!  

Now I can step back and work on the practice of letting perfection go (Again!).  I am free to make mistakes and give myself some more time to enjoy the art of working on my goals and relish the journey in the process.

So this week I say, thank goodness for constructive criticism!  It helps keep me a sane person.

Set an Intention!
