The idea of perfection is so tempting, isn’t it? It seems an injustice that it’s illusory. In Big Magic Elizabeth Gilbert describes her own inner-critic reprogramming journey as accepting her inner-critic as a passenger on her life’s journey, but making sure that it stays far, far away from the steering wheel. (That’s certainly a challenge some days.)
Your essay is a great read, leaving me with wisdom and humility. Thank you for putting it out there for us all to learn and grow from. ❤️ Erin
Thank you, Erin! It is so tempting! Even so I was editing and crafting this very same post up until Friday evening and I caught something after it was sent that I meant to change!! Haha. A lesson in trying to master the illusions of perfection. I love the reflection you shared on Elizabeth Gilbert. I read Big Magic but I don’t remember this - thank you for sharing. I love the idea of befriending the inner critic but making sure she is a passenger along for the ride. Thank you for your loyal support and wisdom when you share. Xo
