We are humans and we are not perfect. All, we can say is that we are better than yesterday.
Imagine you're driving down a never-ending highway, always chasing the elusive horizon. The sun is setting, and you feel like you need to reach that vanishing point. That, my friends, is how perfectionism can be. It's like an endless quest for the unattainable.
Do you know what is the truth about perfectionism: it's a myth. See, we're humans, not machines. We're not perfect. And That's okay. What we can say is, we're better than yesterday. It's all about embracing a growth mindset, it opens our mind to learning new things.
Once upon a time, I believed that perfection was the key to success. I thought, if I just get everything perfect, then I'll be on top of the world. But what happened was quite the opposite. I started procrastinating; I became anxious. That's the dark side of perfectionism. It puts the brakes on your journey, and anxiety becomes the backseat driver.
The best you can do is to set realistic standards for yourself, accept and then embrace your imperfections, and yes, focus on progress rather than perfection.
We must aim to learn and improve just 1% every day. This is part of a growth mindset. Even if it is Small, but should be consistent steps and it will take you much further than waiting for the stars to align.And, Trust me, you'll cover more ground when you let go of perfectionism and welcome growth. I have been the victim of this before even putting this post. Like what people will think, I am not good enough in writing but for so many days, I am just putting my thoughts and trying to improve a small % every day. That's I believe the growth mindset.
So, I would like to encourage you to keep moving forward, learn from your imperfections, and make progress toward your perfect goal.
Do you agree? Share your thoughts on what you are going to do today without thinking about perfectionism.
