Perfection vs Progress—HELP!

We all want to make progress and we all want to do the best job possible. But sometimes, it’s important to recognize that getting help is progress … and while the first iteration of your goal with help may not be your fully realized result, it is, in fact, progress. So celebrate progress, even if it’s not quite how you wanted it. It’s better to make one step with help, vs waiting to make all of the steps by yourself. After all, we were created to be interdependent.

…oh and don’t get upset with those who are critical of the progress you make along the way. I’m not referring to helpful critique and feedback, I’m talking about the people who always have a better way and can always find the “issue” or point out what you could have/should have done better. Don’t be angry and don’t begrudge them. What you’re likely hearing is their own frustration and disappointment in their inability to receive help, and/or their inability to separate progress from perfection. So just pray for them and love them hoping they too will one day be able to progress…sometimes with help, and often without perfection.

But in the meantime, cheers to you for accepting help and making progress!!
