Sun, 01 Mar 2009 18:40:50 GMT I was going to write on article on perfection for my upcoming newsletter (have you <a href="http://www.selfhelpgoddess.com/selfhelp-newsletter.html">subscribed</a> yet?), but I decided I just cant wait that long and need to write about this NOW!! So let me ask you this, are you stuck on perfectionism? Personally, Im learning how to "un-stick" myself and not get caught in this addictive disease<br><br> You know what perfectionism is, right? You think everything has to be <i>absolutely</i> perfect before you take a step in the direction of your dreams. You think, Ill never find a publisher because my manuscript isnt perfect yet. Ill never find my ideal job because I dont have the perfect resume for it. And he/she would certainly never be interested in me because I dont have the perfect body, hair, whatever! Trying to better yourself is a good thing, in fact a GREAT thing, but often times our quest for perfection gets in our way and derails our plans.<br><br> When I started working on this website, I sent it around to a few friends to get their comments. I would preface my email by saying, "This certainly isnt done yet, but take a look". And the next thing I know they had forwarded it around to all their friends! I wanted to scream out, "No, no, its not done yet!!", because I told myself that it wouldnt have any value if its not absolutely perfect. I wanted to add this section, or find a better picture for this, or a better graphic for that, or spell check it more closely, and on and on and on. And between you and me, there are still a TON of things I would like to add or change about my site until it looks good enough in my eyes to send around to people. <br><br> At this point, though, Im learning to let go and release my grip on perfectionism (which has been an issue for me over the years). I realize that my website and other things in life can still have value even if they are not absolutely perfect. In fact, what really is perfect in todays world? <u>Nothing!!</u> And that is what we all need to remind ourselves if we get trapped in the cycle of perfectionism. There is no such thing as perfection; therefore, theres no need to hold yourself back by striving for perfection. Youll never reach it, no matter how hard you try! ;) <br><br> Furthermore, have you ever noticed how many average people are succeeding and making their wildest dreams come true, while youre still waiting to achieve perfection on the sidelines? <i>You're good enough as you are,</i> right now! <br><br> "The perfect is the enemy of the good." - Voltaire Wed, 25 Feb 2009 00:35:17 GMT
