Don’t burn yourself out.
Perfection is overrated & impossible. What is the perfect body, perfect parent, or perfect partner anyway?
Someone once compared the perfect example of perfection to Martha Stewart.
She’s loaded and attractive and very successful and can do anything.
They said she seems perfect because she can maintain a perfect home and make the perfect bed and build stuff with her bare hands but they also noted that she couldn’t maintain the perfect marriage and how her daughter wrote an entire book detailing how she was basically a shitty mom…..& went to jail. No judgement from me, but no one is perfect.
It’s very much the imperfection that makes things interesting. And it makes life liveable.
If everything was perfect, nothing would ever be fun.
What if no one ever tripped, if our kids never said anything extremely embarrassing, and if we never screwed up so badly that we had an awesome story to tell a year later?
We would never laugh or learn if people were perfect every day.
The need to be perfect burdens many people and coincidentally guarantees them unhappiness. They’ll never be satisfied.
People who seek perfection care too much what other people think. In fact, these are often made up judgements in their heads. Everyone has an opinion, but making someone else’s opinion the importance of your validation is really silly. After all, someone else can’t really judge you unless you give them the power of being a judge………
There is always room to learn & improve. Take power in the fact that you have not yet lived to your full potential because the world lays new opportunity at your feet daily.
