We see life as a journey to somewhere great, but instead of just anticipating the destination, how enjoyable would it be to look for all the wonderful things along the way?

Several years ago, I pondered this thought. I thought I should maybe slow down and enjoy life more. Not that I hadn’t enjoyed things, but by slowing down, maybe I could find more meaning to them.

As long as I can remember, I have always had a perfectionist mentality. Always striving to do my best. Running through life, completing one task after another. What was I trying to accomplish with the fast pace? Was the completed task the accomplishment? Was knowing that I tried my best the accomplishment?

These questions made me stop and think about life in more detail. Details, oh details….that comes with the perfectionist mentality. This could be an area where I can use the perfectionist mindset to my advantage, though.
