The world holds us to so many expectations from after graduating high school till death do us part. The chains of perfectionism bind us to the journey of unrealistic patterns, tempting us with success only promising defeat.
With society’s influence and the multi-media’s influence, we receive endless messages of how to live our lives. What to wear, how to look, what to eat, what car to buy, how much soda to drink, what cell phone to purchase.

How can you ever get it right? The world’s expectations are impossible to achieve.
I have struggled with perfectionism my whole life. Maybe because I’m a firstborn. Maybe because my father was raised that way. Or maybe it’s because I am a dreamer, a visionary. You say can’t and I say just you wait!
“Those who wait for perfect weather will never plant seeds; those who look at every cloud will never harvest crops.” ~ Ecclesiastes 11:4
