Gentle Awareness vs. Striving for Perfection

freedom to fail

Being an entrepreneur means giving myself permission to fail. I began to say “permission to be creative,” but “fail” is what blurted out on the page. But it’s the same. We cannot expect, nor would we want to, always be spot on with everything; if we were, absolutely nothing would ever get better. Once it’s perfect, it’s done.

Thankfully, nothing is perfect.

This allows us the opportunity to explore different paths to arrive at various destinations.

I’ve reminded a few of my yoga classes that yoga is an awareness exercise. For the asanas (poses), you may bring your awareness to your feet in two different poses, and discover how your comfort level in a pose changes depending on the direction of your feet, or their connection (or not) with your mat.

Gentle awareness.

Then move on.

To more gentle awareness.
