The whipping post
I feel sorry for perfectionists. I've met many.My mother was one and I could see how it took her down many times . It's taking down a lot of people, because they must feel incompetent in the task that is it at hand. That's sad. It's tough enough to achieve completion in a world that is so demanding for you to have the knowledge and skill to attempt anything these days. No room for error or mistakes. What pressure! People need to ease up and relax
I have been saying to myself more and more,"Ease up!" "It will get done!" God knows me. He knows even before I say or do anything. Thankfully, He just rolls His eyes and lets me move on. Confession. The greatest invention ever created. It allows us to be humble. It lets us look at the our mistakes or choices right between the eyes. If we are smart, we acknowledge and deal with the consequences bravely with Absolute True Contrition. I think the reason I keep making the same mistakes over and over is because I don't take the time to be "truly sorry". God forgive me for the wasted time! I like having God as my friend. There is no-one in this whole world that I could imagine laying on a cross and letting them pound 4 nails into their flesh. My goodness! Would I? I need to be that kind of a person who would. Me and God. God and me. I like the sound of that! It makes me feel secure and safe knowing I have a God who is all powerful. Powerful enough to move a mountain. I'm sticking with HIM. God and me.
