Strive for Progress And Not Perfection…
We all want to be perfect in some or the other ways by all means. I think it started in a school where we have been taught not to make any mistake to obtain the best marks. We have competed with each other to please our teachers and parents to meet with their expectations.
I still remember that a couple of years ago when I tried to please everyone and I did. Everyone was so proud of me. But deep Inside I felt I was still missing out on something, i.e. perfection should never be the goal. Otherwise the outcome will be always a failure. Set the standards high. If you don't do it for yourself, no one else will. " No one is perfect. We are all human beings and human beings make mistakes. This is who we are."
Striving for perfection leads to progress and it also leaves behind the feeling that we can't do anything better. Perfection is not always the right attitude. One should understand that it is not about being perfect it is about making progress as and when the opportunity arises. Progress is about moving forward in a well placed manner without the fear of failure or knocking things over. Achieving great things takes a lot of efforts. Believe it or not no one wants to be with a perfectionist. For them nothing is perfect unless it is their way of thinking. A little level of perfection is ok but once it exceeds a certain limit, it is too much for others to take in like in a relationship. If everything is made to look perfect, it may not be the case.
Everything will be better if one is striving to improve, develop and believe in oneself.
Every day we should never worry about making mistake rather it would be much bigger mistake to procrastinate.
