Perfect is the enemy of good...

The love of my life tells me I should write.  But there is the hassle of the need for a perfect product.  Well, maybe not perfect... but at least well-polished.


But even the standard of well-polished can be overwhelming.  Daunting.  Forbidding.  At a minimum, an obstacle to progress.


So my perfectionism has been an enemy of good.  I have not produced nearly enough.  How much time have I wasted because I was afraid to share?  Or because I feared the response?


But this blog, 'Chillaxing With a Drink'... is my response to that.  If I write anything that I later regret... I have a built in excuse: I was probably under the influence and not thinking clearly.


So I've given myself the grace to make a mistake.  And that is empowering.  You should give yourself the grace to make mistakes, too.  Be empowered.


So in this blog I intend to share my semi-filtered speculations about truth.


One guarantee I am willing to make: In life, there are no guarantees about the truly important things.  Some things you just have to accept on faith... and that makes it better.


So I will write this blog with love in my heart... Peace out, baby!
