The pressure of perfection is real...Are you waiting for the perfect time?  The perfect to finish that project, start that business or to sit down and begin writing that book.  Are you waiting for the perfect time to begin your new work-out plan, apply for school or perhaps to get up the nerve to leave that unhealthy relationship or friendship?

As I tell my clients often, there will never be a perfect time to do anything.  You will never have enough experience.  There will never be extra hours added to your day. You will never find yourself at the pinnacle place where all things line up.  The reality is, we are all a constant work in progress and will be until the day we take our last breath.

The good news, however, is that we have an opportunity each day to move in the direction of our purpose.  I am a firm believer that each of us was designed for a specific purpose and until we begin to tap into that purpose and begin to walk in it, we will always struggle with feelings of unfulfillment.   

​Have you ever gotten a glimpse of someone who has something you admire?  It may be their drive, their focus or their success.  It may be their style, their personality or their ability to stand for what they believe.  I think if we are all honest, we would agree that their are people who cross our paths who we admire whether openly or secretly.  The challenge comes when that admiration turns in to jealousy, envy or unhealthy comparisons. Often times admiration can result in personal discontentment which can directly effect a person's confidence and a whole host of other things.

Instead what we should do when we admire someone, is allowing the admiration we have for them or what they do to lead us to a place of motivation.  We should  celebrate their skills, their success or their personal achievements and allow it to serve as a guide or inspiration for what is possible in our own lives.

Learn from them and if possible share your admiration with them. Allow their lives to inspire you to the greatness that lies within you.  Roll up your sleeves and put in the work and be reminded that with God all things are possible. 

Take the limits off yourself and as I often say, give yourself permission to SHINE!
