Fixing Versus Improving
I used to think every thing needed fixing.
My finances.
My relationships.
The way I worked.
Thinking it all needs to be 'fixed' assumes it's broken in the first place. Sometimes it is, and maybe sometimes you do need to take out the machete and start again.
Most of the time though, you can start in a good place. A place that allows you to think about improvement on something that's already solid. That's already whole. Improvement on something beautiful? That's the place where you might try to begin.
It's also a lot more fun that way. And a lot more true to the way we should see ourselves. From the beginning.
