Perfect Enough

Now that I am in summer mode, most of my days begin by having a cup of coffee while reading blogs and checking Facebook and Twitter.  Today was not much different except before I pulled out the laptop I was flipping through a magazine.  One story was all about mantras that people live by.  One women held up a sign that read "Perfect Enough".  Something about that mantra really resonated with me.  I know that I spend way too much time and energy on trying to be "perfect".  Now, I do believe I have gotten better with this over my 22 years, because I have learned that no one has the time to be "perfect".  For one, you will never get there because everyone's idea of perfect is different.  I have learned that if I am proud of myself and my successes and failures than that is perfect enough.  I also like this mantra because it reminded me of something my Mom has told me many times, "It's good enough for who it's for".  Now, some may take this as not caring enough to make something better for yourself, but I see it as, I am happy with the way things are and I do not need to change a thing just to make it "better" for someone else.

So my advice for today, go out there and strive to be perfect enough.
