[AffirmationstoDe-Stress] MORNING COFFEE

"Action, not perfection, creates results."   When you start something new, don't worry about doing it perfectly, initially. Just start and recognize that adjustments will need to be made along the way. In other words, take action!   It's easier to take action when you don't expect perfection. Obstacles don't intimidate you and adjustments are seen as part of the learning process. Expect them and be ready to reach into your tool bag for a solution at any moment.   Action, even imperfect action, will bring results, and, eventually, perfection may follow.   ©Jane Powell ''Your serenity is based on taking responsibility without taking blame, and letting go without giving up.'' I wish you the ability to let go, the ability to allow yourself to allow life to do its thing without you attempting to control the outcomes of everything that goes on around you.  I hope that you always will be able to recognize the situations over which you truly have no control, and try to let them be, accepting the outcomes as they are, and not judging them based on what you wanted them to be. I wish you the ability to see when attempts to control are appropriate, and when things are best left alone.  I wish you the ability to allow things to occur without your input; sometimes our most important contribution is simply to observe.  We can support and love without telling others what to do, without trying to help them in every facet of their lives; we must let others learn in their own ways and make their own mistakes .  Just as we don't accompany our children to every single class in school that they attend, we don't need to be there to guide them through every one of life's lessons.   Get purposeful   Even the most luxurious conditions can be nearly impossible to endure if there's no purpose toward which you are moving. Even the most painful, desperate conditions can be relatively easy to endure when there's an important, meaningful reason to do so.   Purpose makes all the difference. The crucial factor in any undertaking is not what you must do, but why you are doing it in the first place.   Yes, doing the work is absolutely necessary. And what will get the work done is a clear and unambiguous knowing of why you're doing it.   If you're having trouble focusing, don't merely strive to improve your focus. Work on solidly connecting with your authentic purpose.   Anything is possible, but what you seek is not just anything. What's possible for you is what's truly meaningful to you.   Knowing what you seek and why, is what will relentlessly drive you to reach it. Get clear, get honest, get purposeful, and you cannot help but get it done.   Ralph Marston
