Why You Won’t Be Perfect…

Filed under Thinking Out Loud...

Nobody is perfect at anything.

Sorry to burst your bubble, even though I know you’re the man at Guitar Hero.

Whether you are striving for perfection in a skill, a responsibility, or just in every day life, you won’t get there. 

(Wow, this guy is depressing.)

Again, none of us are perfect.  We all make mistakes.  We all screw up.

But we can be excellent.  We can live life with absolute excellence and yet still make mistakes. 

Tiger Woods plays golf with excellence but he still misses putts.  Michael Jordan was excellent at basketball, but he still lost games. 

You may be excellent in school, but you still can get the answers wrong.  You may be excellent in your relationships, but you still say things you shouldn’t. 

Give up on being perfect and strive to be excellent. 

When that happens, life becomes more enjoyable, because you can admit your shortcomings.   

Be excellent today.
