Never Enough...

I'm the type of person who sees something through till the finish... However, once I achieve what I set out to do, I find something about it that I can do to make it- Better.

My husband chastises me about my 'perfection' tendencies. Yes, I tend to go over board with things I want to accomplish. Yes, I try to make my goals without error. But, I feel as if I'm becoming obssesed with my projects...

"Will it ever be enough?" My husband asked me one day while we were driving home. The answer was already out of my mouth, "No, it will never be enough." I was slightly shocked at my response; I want to be happy and live a comfortable lifestyle, but will I be able to? If all my intentions are to always out-do myself for a better position, better things, and more money- where does it stop??

Where is the happiness and comfortable lifestyle I so desire? At what point do I level out and say, "ok, I'm satisfied." I don't want to constantly perfect what can never be perfected, its a losing battle. Not sure where to find the answers to this question.

Perhaps a place for me to start would be time management. Maybe if I set small goals, and not such high ones, I can be more satisfied with my work? My husband suggested that, isn't he great??

I think I will take his advice and implement it starting tomorrow... I grow weary of trying to be perfect and accomplish everything. I just want to be happy. Tired right now tho, guess I better let my mind rest- tomorrow is another day! ;)
