Live on Purpose being perfectly imperfect. Stop chasing perfect. This is what I am talking about. This is the book that I am reading. Of course it is hard to not worry about what others think and to let go of the standards in your life that society has set for you. Its is for me. I am afraid of letting go of always getting it right doing what I have always been told is right and what I have to do to be successful in life. To be the perfect wife, neighbor, mother, friend, etc. But is having the perfect FB/Instagram page or perfect exterior image really that important? No. Because if it is then all of it is just a lie. On the outside looking in everything looks great and perfect but truthfully...I would be a mess. Tired, sad, lonely, worn down emotionally, and always feeling less than. Never feeling like I can measure up. Always stressing about having the perfect house, car, party, the perfect outfit, the perfect food plate, perfect post, perfect training, perfect answers to everything, perfect, perfect, perfect. Ughhhh...its exhausting. I have been changing that for a while and I think I have always tried to be 100% honest about my life with everyone. I have tried to be real with you. However, I never really shared all the truths of who I am. Not because I was lying but because I just never shared. I choose to start sharing more of the truths of my life which may not be everyones cup of tea and thats okay. But I choose to share what works for me and my family even if its not 100% perfect in health or lifes standards. Lol. Its me and thats enough in the eyes of the Lord and thats really all that matters. That and the eyes of my children and my husband. I will strive to do my best each day. Sometimes I will fall short. Sometimes there will be laundry and dishes and toys left out and undone. Somedays I will miss a post or get something done for my team or challengers that I wanted to and thats okay. I want all my followers to know that all that is OKAY if it happens in their life. The world will not end life will go on and you just keep going the next day. Some people will judge you. But who cares? If they look down upon you because of that then are they really someone that loves you for who you are? Are they really as great of a friend as you thought? Is that the kind of pressure relationship in your life? I am not saying to totally slack off and not try. Obviously you want to set standards for yourself that fit in YOUR life and YOUR priorities. Ones that challenge you to dream and to always be moving forward towards those dreams, but dont tear yourself down or fear failure of not accomplishing them. Learn to look at failure as a learning experience. Ask yourself, what did I fail at today? Learn how to do that better next time. Schedule up what fits into your priorities and try your best to make it work. But live on purpose and for YOUR purpose. Whatever that may be. Are you going to live on purpose? Drop a heart below if your answer is yes.
