res·o·nance - noun
"Electricity- that condition of a circuit with respect to a given frequency or the like in which the net reactance is zero and the current flow a maximum." This definition of resonance as electricity is a great scientific way of the truth - we are all energy. What frequency do you choose to resonate at?

Top 3 Reasons to Avoid Perfectionism

Sure - there probably are 10 or more reasons but I'm about simplicity so 3 is the magic number. #1. Urgency - do you really know that you'll be around tomorrow to make it even better? What good is your 98% complete effort to the world if you lock it up in your head/heart if you die now! "Just do it!" is applicable here cause if you don't - it'll never get done, not the way You chose to do it. #2. Love the Universe - leap into it with free abondon knowing what ever you create will generate more goodness, and not decay. When I leap into something without fear of failure, without worrying about getting it just right - and simply lean into the GIVING of what I have to offer - it flows through me. #3. Love yourself - if you believe in the concept of "we are all made in the likeness of our creator (God) and God doesn't make junk" then take glee in knowing that all of life is simply a learning ground. Dive in and have fun! I'd love comments on how these perspectives on perfectionism work for you. I judge we live in a time when there is so much emphasis put on it and on competitiveness. How about focusing on the endless possibilities that lie in each of us - and the ripple they put out to the Universe when we give freely of ourselves. I know I need to work on that a lot more - and I know I am consciously choosing options that get me closer to that goal.

    Ahhh, yes. Words to live by, for a severe, chronic perfectionist such as myself. I've been fired for my perfectionism. Sometimes remembering these 3 points are like doing battle with a monster - the perfectionist monster. Especially right now, as I strive in my piano teaching business to create a perfectly smooth & entertaining "Rock Band Recital," I will remember these points as a mantra: "Just do it. Fear not failure. Give freely of what I have; dive in and have fun!" Sometimes these things ARE the meaning of "doing my best."
