Dear Friends,
I decided I have IFS- Improvement Fatigue Syndrome!
All I ever hear or read are messages of "betterment!"
I do realise "betterment" is the foundation of evolution, but I'm exhausted running after improvement! When will I be permitted to stop and enjoy what I have already become or accomplished? I rather work towards perfection - at least it's a destination - I can hope to get there someday. Improvement is a goal under perpetual construction! An endless tunnel! It's like a mirage; the closer you get to it, the farther it gets from you!
In my line of work (teaching) betterment is called "next step" or "two stars and a wish!" Well, guess what? After having written all my report cards where, to preserve the integrity of my evaluation, I had to mention all the possible areas for improvement, I decided, in the month of June, I shall keep my wishes to myself, and only dispense stars! After all, my students are only six/seven-years old. They have their whole life ahead of them to practise betterment! I give myself permission, on this 150th day of my gratitude blog, to sit back and enjoy our accomplishments, progress and growth.
Eventually, I have to return to the constructions zone because that’s how things are these days, but till then, I shall gratefully remain in my intermission state of mind!
Have a perfectly pause-able day everyone!
