As I mentioned in my WU (wisdom and understanding) post I’m kicking off 2022 as the year of no excuses. Why “no excuses”? Well, excuses will negatively impact your process and hinder your purpose. Another roadblock that will frustrate your process is the pursuit of perfection. I know when you’re knee-deep in pursuing your vision or completing a particular task, the tendency is to want everything done perfectly before you can act. I’m not going to lie, I get that way sometimes, and every time without fail, it creates delay and doubt. I should have had this website up and running a few months ago but I allowed thoughts of “everything must be perfect” to get in the way of my launch. It makes me cringe when realizing the amount of time wasted and the doubt I entertained chasing perfection, but it’s a lesson well learned, and one I won’t soon forget. When we adopt a preconceived notion of what perfection is, it gives cover to our fears, muddies the water, and causes more confusion and doubt. It also generates fluid space for confusion to linger and irritate. Stop chasing perfection and chase getting things done. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating sloppy and done. I’m cheering you on for doing the best you can. The get it done mentality is part of the change cycle. Change is part of the process; it will free you up for what’s to come. Thanks for spending some time with me. Keep on keeping on and stay blessed everybody.
