Imagine preparing to move forward with your plans to relocate to France in the near future, but your realize you may need to adjust those plans. This happened to a friend of mine in wake of the recent tragic events in Paris.

4 Secrets for Perfectionists Who Want To Finally Enjoy Being Done

A friend of mine was being a wallflower because he couldn’t dance salsa. The truth is, he was taking lessons, had been for months, and did know how to dance. Clearly a struggling perfectionist who just needed to go for it anyway.

With a little encouragement, he was up on the dance floor doing the very thing he said he couldn’t. Perhaps little disjointed in his moves (don’t tell him I said that), but he was up there enjoying what he had been trying to get perfect, instead of waiting to be good at it before enjoying it. What are you trying to get just right?

3 Keys to Regretting Fewer Missed Opportunities (by Overcoming Fear Sooner)

It was my teenage daughter’s birthday, and we suggested she could have friends over for a part if she liked. “No, I’m okay,” was her quick reply. This was a couple of years ago.

Overcoming fear of calling people up on the phone wasn’t something she was gonna tackle just then. She new we wanted her to be the one to call around and organize it, and she didn’t feel comfortable doing that.

So, she missed an opportunity for a party I’m pretty sure she would have loved. She’s come a long way and recently planned a birthday movie outing with her friends.

6 Keys to Living Fully Before You Die

My earliest encounter with the death of a friend was when an “uncle” I’d grown up around, lost his battle with cancer. I didn’t get to see him but I remember the feeling of insecurity it gave me in my preteen years.

A few years later, I literally came face to face with death, when we had to put our dog, Spots, down after a car accident. Watching the life drain from his trusting eyes, as I held his head in my hands, was not something I was prepared for. Every time I remember that day, I am unable to shake the deep sadness that floods over me.

Are You Stuck in a Mess You Made? So? Start Over!

I’ve messed up in everything from cooking a pot of rice, to nurturing a healthy marriage. What I’m about to say may sound calloused, but there’s no shame in letting go of the past, when you tried but really messed up.

Start over with a fresh pot of rice, there’s no use in torturing your taste buds. Start over in your relationships, once you know you’ve given it your all and you realize that parting ways in love may be the healthiest solution for all involved.
