Perfect is an illusion - get over it
By Lee Ann | January 9, 2009
I don’t post in over a week and when I do it’s with a picture of a tomato. What am I thinkin’?
Well, everything has a story and this is the story of the tomato. Nobody wanted this tomato from the stall at the farmstand. So what if it has a couple of spots and what appears to be an appendage? Does that make it any less of a tomato? Well, I guess most people thought so, but not me.
I took it home and snapped this picture before devouring it. And, it was delicious.
So what? Well, the tomato is an analogy, that’s what.The tomato is me with my imperfections. I have a few spots and, well, nothing sticking out that shouldn’t. But, even if I did - nobody’s perfect. There is no such thing as perfect and I’ve let the whole perfect thing get in my way of posting for over a week.
Ouch.
I publicly posted that I was going to change and be more visibile, do more, post more. And what happened?
I froze in my tracks.
I went back to learning mode. Afraid I didn’t have enough info to post, to teach, to inspire.
Well, I’m back. And, I know now that I’m going to go back and forth. I’m going to waffle. But, the more I move forward, even if it’s just a little bit. The more I’ll be acknowledging my imperfections, being ok with them and ready to show them to the world in all their glory.
Because my message is more important than my pimples.
Yours is too….
