On the grading scale inflicted on me, B+ meant you were close... but failed.
Not failed like an F. But failed as in not meeting expectations for "knowing" and "performing" or even "competence." Ugh, WTF. Why do we train in such a way?!?
Because it's training not learning, growing, expressing, and thriving.
Perfectly Imperfect says to me that my perceptions — and even my misperceptions — have usefulness. My actions that lead to a "dead end" give me information. Wisdom gathered the Hard Way that is shared with others often helps us all gain Wisdom that doesn't require nearly as much pain.
So can I be satisfied with a B+ ???
No, I cannot. Because I cannot be happy on some arbitrary and judgmental scale like that.
What I can is offer my Be+
Be-ing my authentic self. Be+ to me is being who I am, what I know about myself and what matters to me, what I am curious about, what I am co-creating... and ADDING that into the We-Space. Adding Me to We.
The helps us build a thriving life for ourselves and with others.
It takes skill. It takes getting beyond our "training" into our freedom and heartistry. Imperfectly. Which is just... perfect.
