I know I am not perfect. I hope that through this blog I show myself as imperfect as I hope we all find ourselves at some point, if not daily. I don't relish being imperfect but I do appreciate the fact that I have people who want to help me and I want to ask for some clemancey from you. I am not a writer, I am a trainer, I a trainer with attention deficit disorder and I also have a perfection problem which is where I get into trouble. Sometimes I want to do something but because I want it to be perfect I wait and craft something over and over again. Then my ADD kicks in and I move on. I even sometimes forget where I was or what I have done. As I try to become the leading trainer in Asheville and brand "on demand training" with the telephone fitness trainer I wanted to keep in contact with you and let you know what is on my mind. No surprise to many of you I have a lot to stay and I want you to read it.
I make mistakes- I forget punctuation and I even run on sentences(on and on and on) . However, you must know I do this with the most sincere of efforts- I try to stay focused but after one draft, two drafts and sometimes even the third I give up. It feels a little like getting in shape I worry what people with think. I figure I won't get it perfect why try? and some one will always tell me I am doing it wrong. What's the use? Why even try? So here is where I ask for literary forgiveness. I want to be there for you and maybe you can watch my writing improve like I watch you grow and change into who I know you are becoming? Will you still read it? Keep me posted on my errors but love me anyway? Isn't that how we get better at something? We just do it and worry about the details. I think this would be harder to deal with if I were an English teacher, maybe you would wonder but as a trainer who has something to say? Can I get a pass? Can I get a little forgiveness? Will you promise to use this as an opportunity to look at something you want to do in your life but won't because you worry about how perfect it will be or whether people will be critical? I love critisism it helps be the best and it's why my skin gets tougher and my falls don't hurt as much. I also don't mind being vulnerable and isn't that what this is all about? learning to share who we are so others can be their very best? Isn't great that someone will jump first? But sometimes you have to do it too! You can't always watch you have to try.. growing and gaining comes out of risking and reconciling. Knowing what you can't do and what you can do and giving yourself a chance to see which one is which through trial and error.
Vulnerability is scary. Why not try it? Give me your best blog about where you are and what you are doing. I want to post your thoughts next. Send it to me by email and I will post it on my blog...
Have a great week.
