Perfectionism

" Release your perfectionism. The process of life is always changing. Demanding perfection holds the universe in a straitjacket." Christiane Northrup M.D.


Perfection isn't always what it's cracked up to be and always demanding it from ourselves or others can impeded progress and strain relationships. If you look at nature or at old buildings, you'll notice that things aren't always perfect. These imperfection can sometimes have a beauty all their own. Always do your best, but realize that there are limits to what you can do.

I so agree with you Carolyn! Actually perfectionism can limit your intellectual and creative growth because of the fear of imperfection. Failing or being imperfect allows us to keep growing and learning in life - every failure provides new insight!
