Move

Or Stand Still?

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Progress in Life

“Focus

on progression

not perfection”

To “Progress” means

to move forward or onward.

It is a movement

towards

a destination or a goal.

Progression

is also a Development

towards an improved

or a more advanced ‘condition’.

“Perfection”

is a person or thing

considered to be perfect.

I would rather

Progress and Move Forwards

in my life.

What about you?

It is always better

to Focus the Mind

on Movement

than it is to

stare at something

that is not moving.

Thinking

about Moving Forwards

in anything

keeps the Mind Active,

which is so Important

for our Mental Health!

It also depends

on what we Want in Life.

To “be” perfect

and never achieve

anything.

Or

to constantly progress

and achieve things

that we never knew we could achieve.

What would YOU want to do?

This applies to anything

in our lives,

whatever we are doing,

and even how we live our lives.

A ‘perfect’ nurse can be a doctor

but only “if” he or she

focuses on progressing

and not on perfection.

A teacher

can become the head of the school,

but only if he or she

moves on in the teaching profession.

What about you and I?

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
