If I had waited on my writing for this blog to be perfect I would have never published. Waiting on perfection paralyzes you. I know waiting on perfection would mean never doing what I want. I have seen it before and know I will continue to see it. Think about it, if you wait to perfect a plan it will never get implemented. When I thought about writing this blog the first company that came to mind was Microsoft. If Bill Gates had waited to put out Windows that software would have never gone out. Actually none of the companies that are juggernaut in their space would have ever been launched. Imagine a world without Apple, Uber, Amazon or AirBnB. Interesting concept.

All though out my life I have seen persons that never make that step because the concept or the plan is not ready. But when would it be ready? It can never be perfect so just go ahead and put it out. It’s all about taking the baby steps. There is no way that Rome was built in a day, so why would you think that whatever you want done can be done and perfected in a small period of time. As I have heard constantly if you want instant gratification then you will lose.

I think why some people push for perfection is to ensure there is no criticism of the idea or product that they have put forward. I know it’s hard to have you ideas criticized but that’s how we grow. Well that’s what should help us to grow if it’s constructive. When we take constructive criticism at face value we use it to make ourselves better. It pushed us in the right direction. As my husband would say just don’t take it personally. It’s hard but what to do?

On the other hand when the criticism is constantly negative it takes all the joy from what we are putting out. But do we allow the naysayers and energy vampires to suck us dry? If we do they win and we never put out anything because we are waiting for it to be perfect.

When I wrote my first blog it was very short as I wanted to test the waters. It was scary but I just published that night. If I had sat waiting I would have been here almost four years later still waiting to start. My mind realized I would never be able to get it “perfect.” I just had to decide what I wanted to do and write, with no need for it to be perfect. What did I want to write about? No need to do anything fancy or to try to make it look great. Start simple. Just me, my thoughts and my mobile phone. I write whenever I have a little quite time, which is rare, but I try. Just put it out and edit after if something is really wrong. If I was to write and rewrite and edit it would put me in a state of analysis paralysis. Why put off for tomorrow what you can do today? Sometimes we have to live our lives in the moment. Just remember it’s many moments and it doesn’t happen overnight.

The idea of life just happening at the snap of a finger is a joke. Too many persons don’t want to pay the dues but expect things to happen right away for them. I know persons that because wealth was handed to them on a platter thought that life would also be easy. Doesn’t happen like that unless you live in a bubble. Don’t know anyone that does. Let me know as I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.

Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife #gratefulforlife #faithgreaterthanfear
