Strive for excellence, not perfection
Aim high when you undertake any action, project, job, or relationship. Do your best to make each accomplishment a work of excellence. Whether it is a small task like the laundry or a much larger one like writing a grant proposal, do top notch work every time. You should be proud of every one of your completed tasks. The difference between excellence and perfection is attitude. If you are merely concentrating on perfection you will lose sight of the journey and the joy of it and will instead be focusing on the nuances of every detail and action. You will find yourself comparing each step to what you feel is a higher standard when, in fact, the choices you are making could be even better and the best part is, they are yours. Your best is excellent!
SMALL TASK: ORGANIZE YOUR TUPPERWARE DRAWER I know I have a drawer with all types of storage containers in them and maybe you do too. It seems like it stays organized for no more than a week.  So many different sizes and shapes and then there are the lids. Take the time this week to give this another shot. I have found the best way for the many different types in my drawer is to put the containers together and stacked in the best way possible and then put all the lids together all lined up by size. If you have a better way, do it and better yet, share it with the group. Get the frustration out of finding the matching container and lid forever, if it is possible.
SMILE MAKER: MAKE A LIST OF YOUR LIFE PRIORITIES This is a particularly important task and one you should think about very carefully. You can make a list of the top 5 or even the top 10. Who and what do you put first in your life? Make this a list of the people and tasks and dreams that you value. It is your definition of Priority. You can be as specific or as general as you want. It is your list. My hope for you is that you are somewhere on that list. I would argue that you should be first. The power of making yourself happy and the importance of putting value on yourself and all that you have to offer is critical to feel joy and spread love. This is a project that should make you smile, will make you reflect and also, most likely, make you reassess the direction and focus of your life, your emotions, and your energy. This is something you can do once a year for yourself. The list will change as your life and circumstances change. There will, undoubtedly, be some constants but be sure and be open to shifting your priorities as you grow. Always, however, put yourself on that list at or near the top!
