A New Exciting Story

2/3/2010

Today is Wishcasting Wednesday and Jamie asks, "What story do wish to get rid of or what story do you wish to tell?"  I thought I had an answer but then something else came to me as I started to type.  I want to get rid of the notion that everything has to be perfect.  A very long time ago someone told me I was a perfectionist and I really thought they were crazy.  Then as I thought about the question this morning I realized maybe they weren't so crazy after all.  Being perfect keeps you from doing things you want to do or from never really being satisfied with what you are doing.  So I want to change my story.  In my new book  the heroine is as accepting of herself and the things she is doing as she is of other people.  In this story, she will be there for others but she can't be expected to solve all of their problems.  In my new story there are good times and bad, but mostly there are sunny days with just a few clouds and their is always lots and lots of laughter and fun.  Some of the story will stay the same because it is a really good story and it would be sad not to appreciate it but in the next chapter the main character will stop being the heroine who can solve all problems and start being the crazy lady next door who is really having lots of fun!!

Self-acceptance is powerful. So is saying, fix your own problems! LOL.

As Ginny so perfectly put it ...
and as we truly love an imperfect, but richly colorful, exciting, unpredictable heroine ...
I wholeheartedly say:

thanks for this reminder that it is ok to be imperfect...I think I too forget that one too often and you're right...you miss out on a lot when you seek perfection!

Hi Ginny,

Here's to giving perfectionism the boot. Great wish. As they say it's better to take imperfect action then perfect inaction. I can't think of even one perfect person!

Happily imperfect, Giulietta

I love the idea of being the crazy lady next door who has a lot of fun. Maybe as we get older we can give ourselves the permission to be that unconventional, imperfect, joyful person. Great wish. As Ginny wishes for herself, I wish for her too.

Perfectionism is so hard to shake, but well worth the attempt!

As Ginny wishes for herself, so do I wish for her also.
