If you speak words every day, you can certainly write every day too yeah?

Go for it!

Some breathing room is a must have in any spending plan. There are always things that come up in life that you don’t have any control over, and you need that extra cushion in your budget to allow that necessary variable spending.

And the goals of course gives purpose to your budget. What else would be the point of saving so much money? Not to give love to your bank account, but to either pay off your debt, or (even better), that vacation, car, TV, etc. that you’ve been wanting for quite some time.
Good post.

I should let you know that there are better things to come. The posts from the past aren’t the greatest but they got the job done!

Perfection…Its in the eye of the beholder, my friend. It does exist, if a person is willing to accept reality. I think the problem with perfection is not perfection itself but in believing there is something beyond perfection. It is the belief that there is more and better, when the reality is simply that, well, there isn’t. What is, is…and that is perfection. Our minds play tricks on us. We are conditioned to feel like our best is not enough, that our abilities are weak and need to be improved. We’re wrong!

What we should actually strive for is realizing that perfection surrounds us, even in the flaws, and that reality is perfection. Sitting here in Hawaii, a couple minutes walk from the Na Pali Coast in Kauai, I could walk down the beach and step on peices of coral that washed up on the beach, hurting my feet. I could tell myself “THIS isn’t what I expected Hawaii to be like!” Instead, I tell myself “THIS is Hawaii and it is exactly as it should be.”

Creativity might be different from accepting life’s flaws and reality despite our imaginations since we have control over what is being produced but if you are seeking absolute perfection without producing anything, what good is that? Clearly you’ve realized this and good for you! Looking back at many of my oldest blog posts, I ask myself what in the world I was thinking! At the time I thought what I was writing was good, I spent a lot of time writing those articles but now they don’t seem as good as they once were and surely what I write today won’t be as good as I thought it was a year from now.

Enjoy the flaws for they are what make us grow as individuals. They give us character and make us less…sterile. We are human and therefore prone to error, and without error we are unable to expand our experiences and understanding.

Keep up the good work!

Oh, and that was a grammatical error. It’s fixed now!

First off, let me say that it was a pleasure meeting you last week in Washington DC!

I, too, often find myself tied up in knots, stuck in a state of inaction, because I am afraid of failure (and/or perfection).

Thanks for the inspirational post! It is a terrific affirmation that it is good to be just, well, good!

By the way, did you intentionally write your fourth sentence the way you did when you said:

“Well, I’m hear (sic) to tell you that perfection does not exist.”

If not, it was a nice touch anyway! LOL

All the best,
