Practice

Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired.
- Martha Graham
 I find it interesting yet apropos that physicians and attorneys have practices, not "perfects".  They can go on for 30,  40 or more years and still have a practice.  I think this is right.  There is no perfection. It is the striving for excellence that drives a person toward their goal.  Yet when the word perfection replaces excellence, the connotation turns negative.  A person can actually be driven into a state of lethargy, for the fear of failing to live up to their own desire for perfection. 

 Therefore, seek not perfection, seek only excellence.

Expect GREAT things and decide to have an AWESOME day.
