HMMM interesting comments here.

What I read is that for MOST of us, we only aim for what we know we can do: something safe. Yet, we should aim higher, even if we miss.

As for perfectionism, the problem with that is that you can NEVER attain perfect, though you might constantly try. And the problem within that is your attitude about it: you feel like a failure when you don't produce perfection! Nothing is good enough, you always feel like you can do better if... and thus you translate this into, "I am not good enough." The stress can kill you.

<font color=purple>Ideally, we feel safe enough to aim higher than we can safely see, and accept the elements learned for the trying, regardless of the outcome, and once in a while, we will soar with the eagles!

Whaddya think?

<font color=blue> meditation is a true way to connect to the Source </font color=blue>
