My unpolished thoughts:

I’m a perfectionist. I suck at being a perfectionist.

I can never measure up to my own standard of perfection.

 

Therefore, I purposely settle for mediocrity, so that I don’t have to come to grips with the fact that I don’t have my life all together.

 

When I choose to settle for mediocrity, I choose to deny the desire in my soul that yells “You were made for something more!”

 

I fear greatness more than I fear failure. I know how to fail; in settling for mediocrity, I fail.

 

Failure is a chance to be great. Failure forces me to come to grips with the fact I don’t have my life all together.

 

To be great, I don’t have to be perfect, I have to be dependant.

 

When I am dependant, I am given what I was made for- a chance to live for something greater than myself.
