Focus more on feeling the dynamic, alive, embracing presence of Love with an open-hearted way - and a willingness to be surprised - and less on a deadening sense of duty and need to control or perfect. Look for evidence of Love's humor and affection and beauty. This is what will sustain you.
Perfectionism lies. It tells you that if you can get every human detail right, you will be happy. It tells you that if you are in perfect control of yourself and your life, you will feel safe, calm, and worthy. But if you look honestly at your life, you can see that those moments in which you felt deep joy or connectedness or worthiness had nothing to do with the perfection of your human circumstances. God shined through anyway.
Focus more on feeling the dynamic, alive, embracing presence of Love with an open-hearted way - and a willingness to be surprised - and less on a deadening sense of duty and need to control or perfect. Look for evidence of Love's humor and affection and beauty. This is what will sustain you.
