今天鬧鐘還未響便自然而然醒了, 轉身拿了一本書, 翻到之前讀到的第十章 - Letting Go of Perfect. 讀了第一段, 決定寫入日記中, 提醒自己, 也提醒身邊的家人朋友們 - 人生該追求的是自己想要擁有的, 而不是完美, 尤其是他人為我們定義的完美.
Midlife Crisis at 30 - by Lia Macko and Kerry Rubin
Chapter 10 - Letting Go of Perfect
" We are a generation of women who were raised to believe a future without limits. However, the positive "you can have anything" cultural message that defined our youth can also shift in our minds to a "you should have everything" brand of guilt at 30 and beyond. This expectation gap leads many of the Gen X/Y women we interviewed to question their choices if they are not well on their way to having the perfect career, the perfect body, the perfect husband, and the perfect kids. But perfect is, at worst, a myth and, at best, a distraction - having the ability to "Have It All" does not mean you have to have everything. These members of the New Girls' Club claimed futures without limitation by letting go of perfect and focusing on their true priorities."
Starbucks最近於咖啡杯上印著不同的短文, 我特別喜歡這一段 - 印在我Tall Skim Latte上的" The Way I See It #31"
"Risk-taking, trust, and serendipity are key ingredients of joy.
Without risk, nothing new ever happens.
Without trust, fear creeps in.
Without serendipity, there are no surprises."
