Assest Based Thinking: Forget Perfection

Here it is: Asset Based Thinking is liberating! It liberates you from the pointless need to strive for "perfection."

Wow.

Who told you that you had to be perfect? Where did you get the idea? Only you can answer that one.

With ABT, you realize that the pursuit of perfection is not an asset, but a liability. Want to change the way you feel about yourself? Then see yourself as a work in progress... just like everyone else.

Wow.

Each day, say to yourself that today you are perfect the way you are. Always competent... always learning... always growing.

Commit to making the most of yourself and you will find that the flaws will fade away.

WARNING: If you're preoccupied with eliminating flaws you will become self-absorbed.

IF you recognize and reconcile with your shortcomings you'll promote a healthy and powerful humility that liberates you to move forward. Read that again: Preoccupation with flaw elimination invites self-absorption, whereas recognizing and reconciling with shortcomings promotes a healthy and powerful humility liberates you to move forward.


Guarantee: Self-awareness will never lead to self-absorption. If will give you healthy amounts of self-respect and confidence so that you can achieve more, contribute more, and live a more inspired life.

Always competent

Always learning

Always growing

Always

This is Flawless Living

Guarantee: Self-awareness will never lead to self-absorption. If will give you healthy amounts of self-respect and confidence so that you can achieve more, contribute more, and live a more inspired life.

Two guarantees are intentional. The same guarantee twice. Some things are worth repeating.
