We just chat it up today and discuss the changes we have made to keep us moving in the right direction. 

We are discussing how it often feels that we are never happy with our success or achievements because we are looking for "perfection". Perfection is elusive so at what point can we appreciate where we are and how we look while continuing to hone and change.  Why don't we see ourselves in our mind the way that others see us or even what we see in the mirror. 

This week we talk about the fact that motivation is fluid and that we can't depend on it to keep us moving towards our goals.
