THIRTEEN
Just
because someone looks perfect on the outside, doesn’t mean they have a perfect
life. No one has a perfect life, we all struggle. That’s just what being human
is.
I’m not sure when I started to choose
peace over perfection. My younger
self used to worry over every detail and replay the situation in my head ad infinitum. I rarely let anyone help me. Not because I thought they
would do it wrong. Because I had so many thoughts in my head I couldn’t
organize them to know what to ask them to do.
…. And I wanted to be sure it was going to look
like the plan in my head.
I tried so hard to be sure that
everything was perfect (for the show, the dinner, the party, etc) that I was rarely
‘present in the moment’ during the event.
(see blog Eleven).
As I did more studying on leadership
skills, I also began to let go of control over the details. I still listed all the details and I
was ready to jump in if needed.
But I did learn to delegate…. Or more importantly, let others in. And the whirlwind in my head subsided and it was even easier to share the details :) Who knew!
You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You don't have to give it all away
Colbie Caillat, Try
