The #8 Key is about giving up the Fantasy of Perfection

When James was “Free at Last” he thought everything would be all rainbows & butterflies. It didn’t take long to learn that the anticipation of a perfect anything was just a fantasy. His expectations for the perfect life crumbled , and he learned this valuable truth.

“Looking for perfection in an imperfect world will doom you to disappointment. Life is a Journey, not a Destination. That mindset will fill us with hope and every day can be an adventure. Don’t destroy something good just because it’s not perfect.” James K Jones 

 “People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it.”  Edith Schaeffer

“The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.” Anna Quindlen
