Imperfect progress...


“I keep messing up with my reactions to things. I have a tendency to process my emotions in an unhealthy way. I am either exploding with angry words or stuffing it down while saying, “I’m fine”. After many failed attempts and many cries of frustration, I realized what was keeping me from change.

It was the feeling that I wouldn’t do it perfectly. Sometimes we think if we don’t make instant progress then real change isn’t coming. Well that is not true.

There is a beautiful thing called imperfect progress. It comes when we take slow steps of progress wrapped in grace. The day I realized this is the day I gave myself permission to believe I really could be different. 

I challenged myself to just start having one better reaction each day. Little steps forward, imperfect progress that’s what we need.”
