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
