You see?
"Our job is not to set things right but to see them right."
-Eric Butterworth
Are you a perfectionist? I am certainly have become one at times. But I've learned that over pursuing something is not perfection but obsession. This is to say I can live in moderation if I simply see things right but I could not if I try and set them right. I can't build a house in a day but I can learn how to design a foundation. Lance can't win the tour de france in a afternoon but he can take the lead. The line between setting and seeing has been a tightrope for many, a fall ending in a injury to confidence and certainty with no way back up for some. But the walk, if successful, can be one of joy and wonder.
