Recently someone shared something with me in regards to perfection, that I found to be very helpful. You see, I don't allow myself to make mistakes. It isn't that I don't make mistakes, but I get very hard on myself. It is almost like I don't forgive myself. As a result, I tend to hold myself back from doing what I need to do in life because if it isn't perfect, I don't want to do it. While that is a selfish and rather irresponsible view, if I am honest, I would have to admit I do this. Most likely I'm not alone.
This person shared with me that if we are doing what we need to in the 51 percent of the time, then we are doing what we need to do. In reality, it means that more often than not, you are right where you need to be, doing exactly what you need to do. We aren't going to get it right in life all the time and we are going to get knocked off our path at times. However, if you are doing it 51 percent of the time, you're on the right track.
