For the past several Tuesdays, the Lord has been prompting me to post a quote that I believe is worth a ponder by all of us. He has placed some spectacular quotes in my path and so I shall continue posting in this manner on Tuesdays until He guides me down a different path.
The two quotes I have for you today are by Laura Fraser and they are from an article she wrote entitled My So-Called Genius. I have not read this article, but rather found these quotes in the Bible study by Beth Moore I am doing entitled Esther. For those of you who are NOT perfectionists, these quotes will likely have little impact. But if you are a control freak, perfectionist, Type A lunatic like me, hold onto your seat!!! Here they are!!
“Perfectionists always lose.”
“If your identity is wrapped in the magnificent things you’re destined to achieve—-as a great writer, musician, scientist, politician, chef–the thoughts that you might produce something mediocre can be devastating.”
