PERFECTION - IT SUCKS

As you will know if you have read this blog for a bit, i think Brene Brown is a pretty juicy thing.

Her long-term committment to uncovering the gifts in shame, worthiness and perfectionism has made me feel less "other" and comforted in a deep and kind way.

At the moment Brene is celebrating the release of her book "The Gifts of Imperfection".

And part of that celebration is to encourage folk to protest the cult (the silent, viscious soul draining cult) of perfectionism.

Perfectionism feeds so slurpingly on the juice and passion of life that perfectionism grows with each step we try to take towards our life's calling ...

so as i wipe the rabid flecks of froth off my chin from that little rant i want to offer you a chance to read and join in...

but to me it is good

and good is good enough

and so i encourage you to join the protest and save your juice for what counts...

for your soul.
