"Better" my new best

The dictionary defines better as follows:

verb (used with object)
10.
to increase the good qualities of; make better; improve: to better the lot of the suburban commuter.
11.
to improve upon; surpass; exceed: We have bettered last year's production record.


I have this big fault of wanting to be perfect. The problem is who decides what is perfection?
Striving to be something that is a. impossible and b.uncertain. Well it is just plain crazy.

I have an epiphany and that is to be better.  I know I can do my best but to be better and strive to be better is much more a. possible and b.definable.

I will be replacing being the best with being better. Knowing we are not perfect and created to do wrong is some what comforting. God loves me just the way I am. He created us knowing we would fail and mess up. God just wants us to try to be better. He wants us to strive to be like Christ. So today I will let go of the guilt along with the idea of being something I just cannot. I will accept and ask God for help in my daily walk

This ties back into my lesson from a weekly link up:

The lesson talks about just being. We are always striving to be this or that when all the while missing out on what is here now. I do want to continually strive to be better.

I will be better than I was before and thats all that matters. Yes today I may make mistakes but tomorrow I will learn and grow from them to be........................................ BETTER :)
