Being wrong is all right

A little bit more about me, I was conceived in the land of chaos but born into the kingdom of perfectionism. What does this mean exactly?! Well, I find that order, lists and routines were really how I found comfort over the years. With that said I have great discomfort when confronted by something I did wrong or in error. I pride myself on a job well done. To not have lived up to my own dysfunctional, unattainable standards i.e. perfection I beat myself up and get bummed out.

I am learning that my ego has been running my life however functional or dysfunctional that may be. Here's what my spirit has to say to that; it's ok to be wrong. To be wrong means that I don't know it all and I will continue on in this life and maybe the next to learn more.

I don't know it all, I'm not perfect and that's totally ok. I'm here as a student and a teacher, there is plenty more to learn and know. I just have to let go of my want to control it all including my desire for perfection then all the knowledge will begin to flow in.
