And another about if you wait until it is perfect you will launch it too late.<br />You have an amazing insight and awareness into yourself and you are taking little steps of action - awesome!<br /><br />thanks<br />Bren<br /><a href="http://www.thelifecoach.net.au/" rel="nofollow">the life coach</a>Bren Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484789907845282383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-66957436888253302492016-01-08T10:51:26.901-08:002016-01-08T10:51:26.901-08:00When I having a hard moment I try to think of the ...When I having a hard moment I try to think of the smallest step I can take toward resolving it, which is similar to the "do one thing" idea.

My new mantra this year has been "do one thing" because I can always do one thing, and then when that thing is done I can almost always do another. this is the perfect compliment to that, thank you!!Bridget Briscionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16847222547283048206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-4242982892238663432016-01-07T22:30:33.437-08:002016-01-07T22:30:33.437-08:00wow...thanks for those wise words. maybe i need to...wow...thanks for those wise words. maybe i need to half-ass it more. i do the same thing and try to make it all perfect...just need to let it go and do the best i can. thanks!<br />Laura Mayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08534147332799590022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36001820.post-59304830874614144342016-01-05T06:04:42.707-08:002016-01-05T06:04:42.707-08:00Ha!

I used to wish I could muster up some perfectionism but after reading people who live with it, it doesn't sound all that great after all. <br />Good luck to you in the new year.
