I’m Not Your Superwoman

Stephanie Pearson-Davis ·

This isn’t the land of make believe and you don’t have the ability to see through walls or leap over buildings in a single bound no matter what your children, spouse, or other people in your life think. I know. I know. The idea of being able to do anything at any time sounds fascinating and productive. Other people believing you can do anything, at any time, regardless of circumstances makes you feel important and needed. Look at how proud they are of me doing everything under the sun. Look at your chest all puffed up with the “S” stamp. You can’t get enough of the accolades. You feel amped. You feel invincible. Thing is…. You’re not. 

You are not invincible.  

You cannot do anything at any time regardless of circumstance. You know who can? God.  You, my friend, are not God.  I can tell you who you will be if you keep this charade up though. Resentful. Yep. Resentful. And who wants to wear resentment as a badge of honor?

Cut Yourself Some Slack... and Then Cut Some More

Perfection lacks flexibility. It forces us to BE without movement or allowances. What happens when you stretch a rubber band that has no elasticity? It breaks... And so will you.   Perfection is also an animal birthed from the expectations of others. Which is a major reason that it is unattainable.
