Being born one has played a major part of my life. I learned from my childhood that one of the best traits that we possess is "perfectionism". That personality has become me or I became one, big time! In everything I do, to be perfect in every way I can has always been part of my everyday life. As of this writing, that former sentence has been revised a few times....
As part of this everyday lesson, I prepared my cover as small as I possibly can because I can see where it's going. Being perfect doesn't mean so much as having things done that would satisfy me. In fact, a lot of times, I don't even get to start because I always think that there's a better way to do things. I may have my cover and my materials but the content is still somewhere.....
A lot of times, I have nothing to show because I never get to start. Did I say that again? Procrastination is a product of perfectionism and that's me again. I have to pull the force inside me to be able to just do it. Let it go and JUST DO IT! So in order to achieve that is LET ME rephrase it this way: procrastination can be avoided if you make things simple to achieve perfectionism.....
I don't know if I make sense to you but this is how I feel and I am puting it into writing just for the sake of having something written for today's lesson. But let me tell yah... It's not because I want to write something, it's because I want to document what I went thru and what I'm going thru everytime I take an on-line class. I want a documentation to remind me that it's ok to go with the flow and just do things the way your heart desires. And yesterday was a big part of this realisation and because of that, I finally came up with 7 pages to bind as content of this cover I shared with you at the beginning of this class. It's not as perfect as I wanted it but one thing for sure, I am happy with the result and most of all, I am satisfied with the process of binding it all together. .....
This morning I went thru it the nth time and see if I achieved that perfectionism I was aiming for? Well, it has what I was aiming for: humor, mostly one sentence of journaling, a little art, spontainity (did I spell that right?), spontaneity and photos that represent each day. And let me think for a while if I want to share that because you know me.... Just kidding, tonight I may be able to take photos of it and will finally get to share my work with you. Meanwhile, back to reality. Back to work....
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
