Better Alone

About a week ago I had an epiphany while journaling.

I press "shuffle" on iTunes while journaling because I am an aural learner.  Music stimulates my brain while writing and allows the aforementioned epiphany.

Anyhow... while writing, the song "Better Alone" by Carolina Liar came on.

"You think you're better alone, for the sake of your sanity."

Does this apply to you as well as it does to me?
Do you love to help and encourage others but pull into yourself and try to fix your own issues without consulting anyone? Maybe even God?

I do.  It is one of my biggest downfalls - perfection. I give everything my best, and in return expect perfection.  Even if it's something "others won't notice," I still try to fix it.

About a month ago, my cousin, Elisabeth, told me a quote that occasionally creeps into my mind when I'm having a perfection moment.  The quote is "Done is better than perfect."

Even when you try your best but fall short - Done is better than perfect.

When you're looking back thinking about something you could have done differently - Done is better than perfect.

When your "want to" list is longer than your day (even if you do skip meals and sleep) - done is better than perfect.

I hope this helps with the stressful places in your lives, it is making slow progress in mine.


Also, I fixed the problem with comments, so if you like the post, please comment!!!!
