Perfect at Everything
April 2, 2001
"Improving our own attitudes and our own state of mind takes time. Haste and impatience can only defeat our purpose."
I have to remember that.
Right now, while I am trying some new things to improve my life, I can't be too hard on myself.
I am trying to develop some control in my life, but in doing so, I overdo it a lot. I wonder if that's why I've failed before? Not because I lose interest, but because I am not perfect from the beginning.
Where did I get the idea that I have to be good or perfect at everything?
Like last night, I ruined my routine by playing on the computer and stayed up too late, so we woke up late this morning. Now this morning is off. If I stress about it, I will be off all day, and then I will drop this new routine even thought I think it's a good thing. Hmmm.
I don't have to be perfect. And I should do something I love each day even if it doesn't turn out "right."
Goal Setting:
- I will be less harsh with myself
- I will draw a picture today
- Put it in my schedule now!
Clear mind: I know I am behind in Chemistry and Biology. Chem. 1st, Bio. 2nd.
