Mistakes are not the end of the world, I know, Most things can be fixed, replaced or redone, And what cannot, can help us learn and grow, But perfection is impossible for everyone. [full text below] Ep. 431 - Happy Fix We begin as always with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy, in Balance and Growth, of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Mistakes are not the end of the world, I know, Most things can be fixed, replaced or redone, And what cannot, can help us learn and grow, But perfection is impossible for everyone. Though the idea that not everything needs to be Life or Death Isn’t something I ever really believed in, If I was going to do something, I would do it until my dying breath, Or else, like, why even begin? But that caused me a lot of stress, I had to count to ten, and focus on my breathing, In through the nose, out through the mouth, yes, yes, Anything to keep me from furiously seething. But I had the Happy Fix right in front of me, “Don’t treat everything like it’s the only thing,” (Go ahead and make mistakes--feel free!) I just refused to see what calmness it could bring. I figured that if I didn’t do everything all the way, Then I could be outworked or outlasted, But as a result I was getting stressed every day, And even more stress was being forecasted. Mistakes are not the end of the world, I repeated, Most things can be fixed, replaced or redone, And what cannot, can be honored and well-treated. Either way, perfection is impossible for everyone. Haha Yowza
