Just do it.... badly!

I came across a new blog today, and the title of the blog post I read has rested in my mind all day (so much so, that I've used it as the title for THIS blog post!)

The blog post was written by a man call Ken, and it is entitled 'Just do it... badly!'

I am a positive person. I like to focus on the joy in life, and I always seek the adventure. I do believe that no matter the circumstances, there is always an adventurous option available that will develop you, even if this option has to do with your mindset. Given the choice, I'll usually embrace the things that interest me - even if they are different and present a more challenging route. There's no such thing as 'just doing things for the sake of doing things' in the world of Kerrin....

BUT.. if I'm really honest... oftentimes, doing these 'exciting' things will come at the expense of the fun, and sometimes, the relationships. I think it comes down to a little thing that nirks at many of us, and that thing is called perfection. The 'all or nothing' mentality, that can be so wonderfully impeccable, yet can cause us to stumble and stop doing things. Ken's blog post really touches on this. I remember reading an article by Dr. Stephanie that was along similar lines.... it's called 'The Silly Bridge.'

I'm generally not affected by the opinions of others, but sometimes I need to allow myself not to be affected by the opinions of Kerrin. Of the voices inside my own head! So. Perfection.... you're getting chucked out of the window!!!

My mum pointed me to a fascinating site called 'The Zero Tuition College' I subscribe to a lot of the 'alternative' ways of learning expressed in this site.

If you really have time to mooch (like what I've been doing for the past hour or so!) take a look at my friend Darrelle's wonderful blog, I always find her writing inspiring and refreshing: beingaliveisgood
