We should always be trying to improve everyday to be better today than we were yesterday, but there are going to be times that we aren’t able to move forward. In those circumstances, it’s important that we hold the line and don’t move backwards.

Speaking of making progress, join the Progress Not Perfection group on Facebook.

People often come to me for advice about things like parenting or personal growth and say they’ve tried everything, but then they won’t accept another approach from what they’re already doing. This is kind of a rant about this and a better way to go about improving.

I listen to a ton of resources online and they’re all saying the same thing…except when they’re not. It’s our job to discern what’s right for us because our lives all have unique circumstances and nuance. Listen to the voices of others, but do it cautiously. It’s ok to be content.
