#best09 challenge...
Still playing Gwen Bell's The Best of 2009 Blog Challenge. Today's topic...something that really made you grow this year. That made you go to your edge and then some. What made it the best challenge of the year for you?
A real challenge of mine over the year, was a colleague of mine whom I admire, time after time leaving me feeling horrible. So recently I made a very conscious decision to stay away, you know, like I was allergic. No hard feelings - do people hate nuts, dairy, wheat, etc. just because they can't eat them?? - not out of fear, just allergic. And just like that I was protected from the elements - like I was wearing Wonder Woman bracelets - like a superhero!
The thing that made it the best challenge of the year was that I took it. I didn't hide from it or be overwhelmed by it. I worked out a solution, and went with it. I looked out for myself, in such a healthy and mature way. There is only good to come of this.

The trouble with b&w thinking...
...and the quest to be perfect, is that more often than not, nothing gets done at all. Say you want your website to be perfect (after all, it's just your gateway to the entire online world) and you become so overwhelmed with the whole idea that you don't even get yourself a domain name. Nice.
Humans by their organic nature are not perfect. Then there is the time factor. What was perfect before may now be dated, or just plain wrong (think hairstyles!). Evolution, you gotta love it.
Lift the pressure off of yourself from the "all or nothing" mentality and just get started. Before you know it, you will get in that phenomenal state called "groove" and what will result will be nothing less than perfect - for now.
