I invite you to join me now in this short Metta Prayer
Radiating the energy of peace and love out to all living beings
Take a few deep breaths to clear your mind
And focus on the here and now
This present moment
Now
Breathe in
Filling your being with peace and love
As you begin each line, breathe out slowly
Breathing these thoughts into the world
Reading, thinking, and feeling the words with peace and love
Sending them from your heart
Giving the energy to yourself and to all living beings
Breathe in and repeat the process for each line

When we get caught in the myth of perfectionism, we see our faults as glaring and horrible reminders that we are not as we should be, that we have failed and are indeed ourselves failures. This point of view doesn't leave much room for humility, forgiveness, love, acceptance, or growth. In short, this view is pretty self-destructive. Our imperfections are not the problem; our attitude toward them is. This negative attitude toward the reality of imperfection is fertile ground for self-hate and negativism toward others.

~Anne Wilson Schaef

~*~
 
The pursuit of perfection has become a major addiction of our time. Fortunately, perfection is learned. No one is born a perfectionist, which is why it is possible to recover. I am a recovering perfectionist. Before I began recovering, I experienced that I and everyone else was always falling short, that who we were and what we did was never quite good enough. I sat in judgment on life itself. Perfectionism is the belief that life is broken. . . .
  
Few perfectionists can tell the difference between love and approval. Perfectionism is so widespread in this culture that we actually have had to invent another word for love. “Unconditional love," we say. Yet, all love is unconditional. Anything else is just approval.

Hey Sweetie,

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a lovely weekend
Mine was quiet and snowy!
We got about three inches of snow Saturday
Which all melted away Sunday
Luckily we didn't have any icy roads

I hope you will enjoy your visit

Many of us have had the attitude that life is something that happens to us and that all we can do is make the best of it. It is basically a victim's position, giving power to people and things outside of ourselves. We are beginning to realize that the power rests in us, that we can choose to create our life the way we want it to be.

~Shakti Gawain

The great affair, the love affair with life, is to live as variously as possible, to groom one's curiosity like a high-spirited thoroughbred, climb aboard, and gallop over the thick, sun-struck hills every day. Where there is no risk, the emotional terrain is flat and unyielding, and, despite all its dimensions, valleys, pinnacles, and detours, life will seem to have none of its magnificent geography, only a length. It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between.

~Diane Ackerman

Be wild; that is how to clear the river. The river does not flow in polluted, we manage that. The river does not dry up, we block it. If we want to allow it its freedom, we have to allow our ideational lives to be let loose, to stream, letting anything come, initially censoring nothing. That is creative life. It is made up of divine paradox. To create one must be willing to be stone stupid, to sit upon a throne on top of a jackass and spill rubies from one’s mouth. Then the river will flow, then we can stand in the stream of it raining down.

Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten. Then when you hit puberty they take the crayons away and replace them with dry, uninspiring books on algebra, history, etc. Being suddenly hit years later with the 'creative bug' is just a wee voice telling you, 'I'd like my crayons back, please.'

~Hugh MacLeod

Imagination is the beginning of creation.
You imagine what you desire,
you will what you imagine
and at last you create what you will.

~George Bernard Shaw
