Practice, not Perfection

A perfectionist thinks that anything less then perfect is unacceptable. Most of us are just plain hard on ourselves for not achieving what we think we should. The problem is perfection is not obtainable or sustainable, thus you are never satisfied. Our self criticism can come from a number of places. From a difficult, strict upbringing, or we can be driven to perfection in order to make people respect or love us more. No matter what the motivation, the resulting painful element is not feeling like we are good enough. We miss the gentleness and our inherent value as human beings.
Healing the inner perfectionist
- Understanding perfect is boring and uninteresting
- It is the scrapper and underdog that is most admired
- Make it a practice of being the best person you can be, without expectation of an outcome. (See and admit shortcomings, and get back up when you fall off your practice)
