Perfection is an enemy of good.
it is a distraction to who we really are.
Anytime I think I am no good,
it is perfection stealing the moment.

If I want everything to be absolutely perfect,
in the choices I am making,
I could wind up waiting a very long time
for all the elements to come together.

I could make choices that involves some compromise.
If I remain flexible and choose compromise
over perfection,
I may find that I wind up
with a perfect situation anyway.
thats because there is no such thing as
being perfect.

I can instead focus on enjoying
the challenges of simply doing my best.
because if I allow myself to remain
at the mercy of my desire for perfection,
not only will the perfect elude me,
so will the good.
