Perfection Is Not Required

Perfection Is Not Required

My Friend,

After completing the 31 day blogging challenge, I would like to share a few things with you. And more than that, I’d love your feed back, input, suggestions and requests for new blog post.

Starting out on a new way to express yourself, you don’t really know what it is going to be like. Will you be able to stay on course? Will you be sidetracked? …again? You really don’t know when you first start, but you sure will as you take each step. For most of us these steps include stumbling, falling, doubting, skipping, resisting, dancing, smiling, wondering… Every single one is part of the journey and none of them wrong. They make up this journey and are part of the powerful outcome that you walk away with at the end.

This 31 day blogging challenge felt like a fun challenge for me and not something heavy or difficult. Yet, committing to something new on a daily basis is bound to teach me something and make me walk away with some kind of gift. The way I experience this gift today is a good feeling that ‘I did it’ ‘it wasn’t difficult’ and ‘I can do this again.’ As a matter of fact, I am so happy that it was so easy and inspiring, even on the days when I couldn’t really ‘feel it.’ Of course some of the posts are more inspiring and powerful than others, and this is how life is. It doesn’t always have to look perfect and exciting. If you have that as a goal, it may stop you from even trying, out of fear that it may not look so perfect.
Is that you?
I think it is all of us at some stage in life or in some specific area of our life. Hopefully we start out anyway and learn along the way that it is OK to not be perfect at what we set out to do. Isn’t that why we start out on this track, so we can learn, improve and expand? The feeling of accomplishment, joy and expansion when you learn something that you have not been able to do before, is what we are after, isn’t it? Challenging ourselves to see if we can grow and do better is the driving force behind many accomplishments. Being perfect at it from the start will rarely motivate us for growth. Perfection is not required.

I hope you remember that when you set out to do something new and run into a wall wanting safety and security and the accompanying feeling of contraction. Surely that is not what you’re after, is it?

Before I set out on a new blogging roll, I would love to hear from you. What are your challenges? What area in your life would you like to expand in, but don’t know how? What would you like to read and learn more about that would be a great subject for discussion here?

Please share yourself and help me get ideas to blog about things that YOU would like to read about and interact with. Let’s make this a joint effort.
I’ll look forward to your posts.

ALL Love,
Pernilla
