How to Have a Perfect Life:
#1. Realize that Perfect Doesn’t Work
Why Perfect doesn’t work?
Perfect isn’t real. Tv shows are fake. Reality shows are fake. And as much as movies and celebrities make it seem that life is perfect, but ours are horrible, yuck lives, it’s not true.
It’s so easy to expect “perfect” from people and life. We didn’t get the perfect answer from our boyfriend or mom. We didn’t get the “perfect body” after taking the “magic pill” that some celebrity said is their “trick” to staying thin. We didn’t have a pack of “the bachelors” chasing us after we sprayed the new “attraction” perfume on. We didn’t get picked to win the contest that we wanted to win so bad.
“DON’T TAKE LIFE SO SERIOUSLY, YOU’LL NEVER MAKE IT OUT ALIVE ANYWAY!”
HA HA HA HA HA HA
#2. Stop Being a Prisoner to Perfection
My name is Kandee Johnson, and I used to be a perfectionist.
Yes, I was paralyzed by decision making. “What if I don’t make the perfect choice!” “I can’t buy the black shoes, what if I realize I wanted grey!”...”I just won’t type a blog, because what if type a dumb one.”
Or people would say,”what do you feel like eating?”, and I would default to them, “oh whatever sounds good”, YAY! Then I didn’t have to deal with the stress of picking something out. If it was gross, it wasn’t my fault! ha ha ha
I’ve since learned:
*prepare for mistakes and imperfection
the sooner you do the happier you’ll be.
*If you know stuff is gonna go wrong, things aren’t gonna play out like a dream or a movie all the time,the more peaceful you'll be when they do go a little of plan!
*Prepare yourself, and just roll with the changes. It’s better to be the willow that bends in the wind, than the stiff tree that snaps and breaks in the breeze!
Don’t break, just bend!
LIFE IS 10% HOW YOU MAKE IT......
AND 90% HOW YOU TAKE IT.
#3. IMPERFECT IS HOW WE BECOME GREAT
Pearls are made from some dirt (garbage) that’s gotten trapped in an oyster. As it’s trying to deal with this “problem”, it gets turned into a beautiful pearl. Same thing with diamonds, from all the incredible pressure, the carbon get “uncomfortably” turned into something so valuable and sparkling, that people pay huge amounts to gaze as these and delight in the beauty of their twinkle.
My life has been events that have caused my mirror to shatter, but as I’ve picked up the broken pieces of my life, all those little shattered parts give off more sparkle, shine and light than before when it was more “perfect”!
If you feel that your life, your choices, the people are you, your home, your job, anything is far from perfect. Say YAY! I’m in great company. The most incredible people have come out of things that were far from perfect.
So you didn’t have the dream start to things: your first day of school, making your dreams happen, you can’t find that darn soul mate of yours anywhere, you can’t seem to get your life going how you want. It’s ok. I’ve been in more imperfect situations, houses, relationships (i could go on)...but in all those moments, I said “this is going to make me better, stronger, and more able to endure the challenges that greatness requires.
Remember you are like a precious pearl or diamond.....out of adversity comes the most priceless gems! You are a priceless gem!
4. YOU’RE NOT IN A DARK CAVE OF HOPELESSNESS, BUT A TUNNEL WITH A BRIGHT ENDING.
“DARK MOMENTS ARE SHORT HALLWAYS, LEADING TO SUNLIT ROOMS!”
Sometimes it feels like we’re in a dark cave, with no signs of hope, or an exit, but life is not a cave, but a tunnel. And at any moment, that tunnel can take a quick turn, where you can’t see the light yet, but as soon as you keep going, you see the rays of light and hope showing you the way to go.
REMEMBER:
LOVE- rather than hate
SMILE - rather than frown
BUILD- rather than to tear down
PERSEVERE -rather than give up
PRAISE - rather than gossip
HEAL - rather than wound
GIVE - rather than than get
ACT - rather than delay
FORGIVE - rather than judge
PRAY - rather than despair
So today its been a pretty busy day again. In the morning I went to do some chores with my brother in my town and when I came home I started to do my flyers (to promote, for work) so I'll go and send them tomorrow first thing in the morning. I managed to do about 70! That's not a lot but it's definitely a start. I also promoted some on facebook and well, it's working a bit :) We'll see..I still need some more time to learn more about all this. Anyway then after doing my flyers which took alooot of time to do them and plan the best way to be you know "attractive".
I saw this cutest little kitten on a tree and couldn't get down. Thank God a van stopped and this man climbed on his van and bought this kitten down. He was sooo small and I just wanted to keep him forever but we already have one soo two would be too much :( So we took him in our house, gave him some milk and fish. Then we took him in a safe public garden with some other cats. I so miss him already :/ My sister managed to take a pic of him:
Then for training for work for 3 hours and I met some new great people there :) Now tomorrow in the morning I have to send the flyers and go to my grandparents' house to help them clean the house etc.. and on sunday I have to wake up veryyyy early because I have a promotion to do (my second job) in Gozo
