thatweareallinthesameboathere–weareallcalled

to bear fruit – we are all called to walk in the good

worksthatGodhaspreparedforus(Ephesians2:8-9).

ThisisnotsimplyacalltoChristians,buttoallhumani-

ty,sincebeforetheworldbeganGodhadanintention

forourlives.Itisnotthatwearesavedbydoinggood

works,buthavingbeensavedandmaderightwithGod

throughJesusChrist–thenwearecalledtowalkinthe

goodworksthatGodhaspreparedforeachoneofus.

That is,Godcallsus toaproductive life, and toassist

ratherthanhamperotherstobeproductiveaswell.

Wenotedsomeweeksago that “nearenoughwasnot

good enough”. However, there comes a time when

“goodenoughisgoodenough”.Ourmottoasachurch

hasbeen:“excellenceisnotdoingthingsperfectly,but

doingthebestthatyoucanwiththeresourcesthatyou

have”.Lookingatperfectionand“goodenough”–there

comesapointwhenyouhavedonewhatyoucanandit

is “good enough”. Laura Stack notes that there is a

balance between getting it right (perfection) and

gettingitdone(goodenough).Toomuchperfectionism

canbedetrimentaltoyourproductivityorfruitfulness:

“goodenough”usually isgoodenough.Herearesome

tipsfortamingthebeastofperfectionism:

• Stepbackandtakealookatthebiggerpicture;

• Setrealisticexpectations;

• Establishdeadlinesforyourself;

• Giveyourselfpermissiontobeimperfect;

• Stopcomparingyourselftoothers;

• Giveyourselfcreditforwhatyoudoright;

• Focusonwhatyouaredoingnow,notpast

mistakesorfutureworries;

• Learntorelax;

• Quitwaitingfortheperfectconditionsandget

started;and

• Askforhelpwhenyouneedit

Productivity or fruitfulness is more important than

perfectionanyday(Laura Stack,WhattoDoWhenThere'sToo

MuchtoDo,SanFrancisco:Berrett-Koehler,2012,71-72).

There comes a time in every projectwhere, although

things could be done better it is time to “freeze the

design”. Too many people fail to be productive and

bear fruit foroneof tworeasons—they try tohard to

getitperfectlyright,ortheydonotputinenougheffort

in so that their project moves beyond being “near

enough”tobeing“goodenough”.
