👇 Today’s lesson - progress, not perfection. Hear me out
🎨This is a metal piece of art hanging in the hallway of my home.
🌈An incredible prism stopped me dead in my tracks as it was being reflected onto each peak, creating a rainbow like I’ve never seen. A delicate line, straight across where each color shined bright on its own peak. It was brilliantly beautiful.
📸Of course immediately whipped my phone out to capture this gift but I was so focused on getting the perfect angle, by the time I was ready to take the photo, the rainbow was gone.
🤦🏽♀️Ugh.
🔎It felt like an opportunity missed at the time, but looking through a different lens now, I see nothing was lost. I received everything I needed in that moment - something beautiful that captivated my attention and served as a gentle reminder of two things...
☝️ Progress, not perfection. Don’t waste the gifts you’ve been given waiting on the illusion of perfection.
✌️We don’t see things as THEY are, we see things as WE are. An incredible gift that allows us to shift our perspective at any moment. All is never lost.
🔥I dare you to flip the script on yourself today.
🧐Take something that feels like a loss and identify what’s actually being given to you in the absence of something else. Then choose to focus on the gain rather than the loss.
