god vs Bill & Ted

let’s strive
to be more
like Bill and Ted
and less like god

priests teach
that god is perfect
that
we are imperfect
(destined to fail)

that striving
to be god-like
should be a goal
but it will never
be achieved

let’s strive
to be more
like Bill and Ted
and less like god

perfectionism
is a disease
that
unnecessarily
creates unhappiness

perfectionism
is a cheap
substitute
for confidence

let’s strive
to be more
like Bill and Ted
and less like god

perfectionism
limits potential

focus on perfection
sacrifices
production
and accomplishment

for the unachievable

perfectionism
crumbles
in the face
of failure

perfectionism
leads to
overcompensation
defensiveness
ego protection

let’s strive
to be more
like Bill and Ted
and less like god

vulnerability
is the polar opposite
of perfectionism

vulnerability
is about
acknowledging
fully embracing
flaws

our imperfections
draw us together
make us human
and relatable

let’s strive
to be more
like Bill and Ted
and less like god

excellence
is about being
our best self
flaws and all

excellence
accepts failure
then moves on
to the next step

let’s strive
to be more
like Bill and Ted
and less like god

excellence
doesn’t live
in a vacuum

excellence
teaches
perseverance
and builds
grit

let’s strive
to be more
like Bill and Ted
and less like god

excellent
instead
of
perfect
