Can yuo raed this? Sopspedluy msot plepoe can. Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is that the frsit and last ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and yuo can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
I used to be an absolute perfectionist (and quite probably a pain in the keister to others). Then I studied all the great men of ancient times who were used mightily by the Lord. What a motley lot they were until He got hold of them. It dawned on me that if He could use the misfits and outcasts then, there just might be a way He could use little old me.
Everything does not have to be perfect-- indeed it never will be if a human being has anything to do with it. It is better to "loosen up," ask for help, delegate and share the workload. The work will turn out better in the long run, and my spiritual, mental and physical health will be in far greater condition as a result.
