Let Go of the Idea...

"Let Go of the Idea that Gentle, Relaxed People Can't Be Superachievers." I had an instant connection with these words when I first read them in the book, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff. First, please understand that I do not think this about others. I feel like if I calm down, I will not stay motivated. I feel like if I relax, I will lose my edge. These things are not true and I was able to realize that and reflect after I read this quote. When I am stressed or have too much on my to do list, I rush. I let my anxiety get the best of me and this is when I make mistakes, whether it be on paper, in an email or verbally. I have been focusing on slowing down and calming down. I have made less errors by doing this. I am speaking about in my relationships and in my career. Something so small caught my eye and I am so glad it did because it fits perfectly in my life.
