Not Perfection
August 21, 2010
Don’t strive for it
Stuck in expectation
Too good at pleasing
Avoiding the stereotype
Always predictable
Can’t stray from expectation
Slowly and subtly
Can only reverse expectation
Unpredictably, dramatically
With consequence
Takes 21 days to change a habit
21 to stop pleasing
21 to stop caring
21 to stop hiding
21 to stop
Takes 21 days to create habit
21 to start disappointing
21 to start hurting
21 to start exposing
21 to start
