Weekly Words for Thought
 
It's hard to believe that striving to be perfect can affect you negatively, but it can! Here's the thing: if you focus on small mistakes and gettering things perfect, you miss out on so many other things around you.  We must realize that striving to be perfect is not the same as trying for your best.
