Take control of your Life. Be the Captain of your own ship.
The Danger of Perfectionism
The danger of perfectionism — especially in today’s achievement-obsessed world — is that we define “Excellence” as the achievement of goals, and not-achieving those goals means you’re a capital F “Failure.”
WRONG!
True Excellence requires
- Balance.
- Flexibility.
- Fun.
- Flow.
A life of Excellence allows us to play while we pursue our goals, to explore & evolve with an open mind, to pivot & change course, like we’re steering our rudder through a fluid, flowing sea, with ever-shifting tides.
It’s a life as expansive as the ocean, where we’re allowed the freedom to study the currents of our lives, like sailors charting the paths that WE choose. And our continual survival automatically enhances our skills, our resilience, and our ability to LOVE our lives.
Excellence isn’t just getting from Point A to Point B.
Excellence is learning to love the journey that takes you there.
Excellence is exploration. Even if you take a detour. Even if you find one shore better than another. Even if you scrap one itinerary to plan another path instead.
It’s discovering…
- How many sunsets did you enjoy?
- You didn’t like that one spot, but now you’re excited to explore another hemisphere.
- Who did you meet along the way?
- Whose cultures resonated with you?
- Which lifestyles spoke to your soul?
- How did the journey change you?
No matter what happens, Excellence exists, not when we get to point B, but sooner: The precise moment when we decide to be the Captain of our own ship.
Now, take a Mindful Minute to reflect on your life:
Are you letting the turbulence around you — other people’s opinions and/or external factors — to take you off-course?
Or, are you the Captain of your own Life?
I know what I’m dedicated to choosing each and every day:
I’m practicing the VICTUS Method, to take control of my ship, and THINK-DO-&-BE my way to living & being who I choose to be.
I hope you’ll join me!
No matter where the current leads, life’s a grand adventure, and I can’t wait to see where it leads us.
The Captain in me honors & respects the Captain in each of you,
Marisa
