Meganumber: 3. Perfectly paralyzed I never have thought of myself as a perfectionist. One would only have to peer into my office to understand why. My office has the appearance of chaos, con- fusion and disorder. "Appearance" is the operative word. I find the chaos to be completely functional. I rely on my own, unique organizational theory: It's better occasionally to waste time searching for items than regularly to waste time keep- ing the place tidy with everything meticulously filed. I know what you're thinking. My mother didn't agree with my theory, either. I admit that I struggle with pro- crastination. But me, a perfection- ist? Hardly. A perfectionist is someone who does everything per- fectly. I only think about doing things perfectly. Not long ago, I had the oppor- tunity to hear what Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church in Southern California, had to say on this subject. A procrastinator, Warren says, is nothing more than a frustrated perfectionist. A perfectionist is convinced she must prove her worth by being perfect. A perfectionist craves approval. Warren contends it's the fear of not being able to perform perfectly that leads to procrastina- tion. And procrastination eventu- ally leads to paralysis. There are times when I stare into my computer screen for hours on end without com- pleting a single sentence. Even though I have a clear-cut subject, a semi-bril- liant conclusion and a general idea of how I plan to get there, until I perfect my first para- graph, I'm paralyzed. Have you ever felt paralyzed by your pro- crastination? Perhaps perfectionism is at the root of the problem. I hear from lots of you who say you just can't get going with your Rapid Debt- Repayment Plans (one element of Debt-Proof Living; learn more at http://www.DebtProofLiving.com ). Could it be that you're so wor- ried about making a mistake you find yourself paralyzed? Are you holding yourself to an unattain- able standard of perfection? That could be what's keeping you stuck right where you are. Perfectionism can keep us from moving forward, but it doesn't have to be that way. There are antidotes for perfectionism. 1) Believe that no one is perfect. You will liberate yourself when you lower your expectations from perfect to realistic. Don't be afraid to make a mistake. You don't have to be perfect to be happy. 2) Let go and let God handle things. It takes a lot of faith to let go of those things over which we have no control. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate 3) Learn contentment. Life must be lived in less than perfect circum- stances. Accept that. Love the moment, and enjoy the journey. Dump the pres- sure that says you must be perfect to be accepted. It's time to break out of your prison of perfection- ism. Identify what you need to do and take the first step. Even if you fall flat on your face, you will have gained at least five feet. Then take the second step, and the third. Before you know it, you will be making terrif- ic progress. Not perfection, but progress! Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com and author of 18 books, including her best-selling classic "Debt-Proof Living."

Herger meets with Simpson students WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Wally Herger (R-CA) hosted an America Speaking Out event at Simpson University with students returning for the new school year. Herger met with the students for more than an hour, dis- cussing what is happen- ing in Washington and how they could affect change in our govern- ment. The America Speaking Out program is designed to input the voice of the American public into a new gov- erning agenda. “I was impressed and encouraged by the inter- est and involvement of the students at Simpson. They understand that the mistakes being made in Washington today – out- of-control spending, a government takeover of health care, and looming tax hikes – will impact their future. They will be the ones stuck with the bill that the Obama Administration is run- ning up. Many of their concerns echoed what I have heard across the Courtesy photo North State, including concerns about unem- ployment and skyrocket- ing spending. However, what I was struck by most was their demand for accountability from REDDING — The Second Annu- al Rising Stars Gala hosted by CH2M Hill and Critigen will be at 7 p.m. Oct. 9 at the Cascade Theatre in downtown Redding.
