In pursuit of happiness and fulfillment? Get yourself a dose of imperfection


Today's topic is perfection. Or rather, how imperfection is your path to creativity, innovation, joy, and yes- even to love.

This shame and fear based behavior might be the very pattern, which is sabotaging your intent and dreams to create your passion and purpose-based business (and life). I hope this short inspiration video will awaken desires and courage to try to step out of the comfort-zone of perfection. 

In itself, creating these short video inspirations is for me a way to get out of my own perfectionism. It has been quite freeing to say the least and on purpose I am wearing bright orange lip stick today, I film at various locations and backgrounds, play around with varying clothing, make-up & hair styles, because I want to create a free room for creativity, expression, teachings and fun for myself - outside of any box of expectations - and an open place of support, acceptance and growth for you. 

Though the video process has a clear intent for me, I want to share with you that it still does brings out feelings of fear in me to create imperfect, unedited, made-from-my-own-computer videos and launch them into a world wide cyber space. I know that the more I can simple allow and be with the feelings of fear, as well as the inspiration and excitement I am also feeling, the more I am freeing myself from a need for perfect. Yay! 

'Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.' - Nelson Mandela

What is one concrete action step you can take this week, to allow room for more imperfection into your life?

I would love to hear your feedback and thoughts on this topic. Feel free to share your action steps in the comment field below, so we can all cheer each other on in creating a bigger and bolder life. 





I wish you a wonderful Monday.
