Kind of makes you wonder… If this wasn't just the plan the Universe had queued up for this week?
I did
everything "perfectly" and someone else made a mistake. I didn't get upset, trigger or spin.
Are you expecting other people to be perfect? Do you completely melt when people around you make a mistake? That can be a sign of your perfectionism projected outward onto other people. You need other people to be perfect too.
If you think you have to be perfect or you're terrified of making a mistake in a relationship -
the truth is you don't have a very strong relationship. That's why perfection is ALWAYS associated with fear. You fear the hammer WILL fall on you for making the tiniest mistake. If you are feeling that way, immediately stop doing that to other people.
When faced with an honest mistake (not one they've done seven times - that's a different issue) forgive it quickly, completely
and happily.
Do unto others as you would have them… (Darn universal laws. Always working. Always applying. No exceptions. Sneaky. Very sneaky).
Can you be truly gracious with other people's mistakes?
When you have done your best, and it didn't work, how easy is it for you to let that go?
