Thanks for the article. I thought an expert was suppose to have it all together too. But what you say makes sense. You’ll never be perfect. Very true.

Hey Craig,

That’s a great advice. I’ll remember that and do it now.

Hi Craig,
Amazing, you always seem to hit the spot… No-one in my life would believe that I’m a shy person, that I care deeply about what others think of me. They all see me as a super confident, outgoing girl. So, if everyone else thinks I’m outgoing and confident, am I? Or am I just really good at acting?
I guess on the flip side, I’ve had others convinced that I was a ditzy nothing, just because (at the time) I was a happy 20 ish girl who laughed easily and liked to dance. I don’t ever want to stop laughing and dancing, I don’t want to have to always be serious and sensible.
But, I’m a thinker, and a destructive one at that, I can forgive all my bad habiits, while indulging in the reasons for them. Ooh, I feel fat and unattractive, I’m so lonely, what will happen if I’m stil alone in 5, 10, 30 years? Hmm, chocolate and / or beer will help me feel better about that///
I’m working on the better me, you just keep doing what you’re doing!
Loves, Dani

Hey Craig !
Back from a month in England and Europe… didja miss me ?
This post makes me think of a conversation I just had today with my eldest daughter. Her two girls, aged 8 and 14 are only just learning to swim, having been terrified of putting their faces in water until recently. Well, I’m not a great swimmer myself, as I have trouble coordinating breathing and head turning. Yet I taught all my kids to swim, and they’re all good at it and very confident in water. Good thing I didn’t wait until I had it all together before teaching them !

Sandra, I now have this image of a cartoon:

Little person standing with hands on hips, chest thrust out and proudly looking up at a HUGE pile of .. well .. shit. The voice bubble thingie would say, “There! I’ve finally got all my shit together!”

Any takers on filling in the motivational, humorous or insightful caption at the bottom??
