We return to the topic of procrastination and perfectionism, related patterns of behavior in which many abuse victims find themselves trapped.
The part we play in creating our own dilemmas – the large and small crises in our lives stemming from procrastination – was discussed in Part 1 of this series.
Chance for Failure (Imperfection)

Apart from the problems it would generate for anyone, failure – defined by many abuse victims as imperfection, to any small degree – results in shame and self-revilement for us. Since creating these dilemmas greatly increases our chance for failure, the question arises why we persist…

Anna, once again I really enjoyed working on this brilliantly written post (even though I say so myself!), which has helped me considerably and I hope it will be of help to others too. In fact I’m sure it has, judging from the comments you have already received.

Always. I am very sensitive, so just about everything gets to me. We need people to inspire, instead of tearing down and condemning people because they are different.

Hi Marie,
Amen. Doesn’t it seem that the Lord is stirring up and cleaning out the past issues we have? It feels like a time of resisting those old issues because he is preparing his bride for His return. I hope so.
Thanks, Gary
