Seriously though, I know I am not perfect...I have weight to lose, I have work to do on my confidence...and some days I could use some motivation when it comes to housework; but in the grand scheme of things, I am truly happy with the way I live my every day life.
I do NOT always make the right decisions...yeah, I know, hard to believe; but I do my best to make sure that the really important decisions that I make in my life...the ones that affect other people (particularly my littles) are made after careful consideration of all factors. I won't say that I only make the best decisions...because even after thinking on it, and sleeping on it; sometimes you just have to do what you want...even if it isn't the "best" decision to make.
I think that if we stop working on ourselves, and just accept who we are now as the "best" we will ever be (or even worse "good enough") then we will never achieve who we truly could be at our best. I know that I could have more patience, and I could work harder to be a healthier person; I could get out there and meet more people, and I could probably take a course to better myself. I am slowly working towards some of the goals that I have for myself, and right now I am taking the time to learn to truly love who I have become in the last year. I have learned a lot of lessons, and one of the most important ones is that I am a great person at the core of my being. I may not be "perfect", and I know I have work to do on myself; but I am proud of the work I have done, because for many years I just accepted where I was and didn't look at how important it was to keep striving to be better and do more on my journey to becoming the "best" me possible!
Well said. Perfection is an unattainable objective though.........you ARE a good person Jerri. Nice to see you recognize that!!
