IS PERFECTION HOLDING YOU BACK?
Hello fabulous friends! How are you today? Let me share some thought with you.
Everyone of us have some kind of goals we hope to reach, regardless of whether we haven't completely detailed the goal in our mind, we need to always think of making progress, heading to something new and be fruitful at work or at play and not stiffly about being "perfect" in one thing such that the thought of perfection keeps us stagnated.
I have noticed overtime that the feeling of attaining perfection at each point before taking any step further often bring about pressure, and tension. And you may end up not achieving any worthwhile goal because of the undue pressure you've brought upon yourself.
Some people have for themselves, a master plan.. The things they have characterized for ourselves as "goals to achieve". And thus other little strides doesn't matter to them. Such goals can appear to be overpowering; we may feel we haven't given it our best. And we begin to feel disappointed with ourselves.
I feel that is being too hard on yourself.
Life is a journey. Focus on the journey, Celebrate each step and you'll get to your destination.
When you focus of the journey instead of the destination, you'll learn, understand, develop and grow into all that you can ever be.
Envisage your greatness and amazingness, yet at the same time take into consideration imperfections, mistakes and your weaknesses.
As such, whether we veer off the way a bit, the way is still inline with our journey towards our desired destination provided we're heading the correct way. Don't let the thought of missing track or not being perfect to stop you.
So where do we begin?
We need to ask ourselves for what good reason we need to put in effort to achieve our goals. What's more, we must be straightforward with ourselves. It must be something that is important, a thought of achieving our goal will keep us on the correct way. Something that will enable us to continue putting one foot before the other, to continue gaining ground till we arrive our destination. No pressure or tension!
When we know our why, we have to record it.
We have to put down the objective, the master plan we're attempting to achieve and we have to write down our reason, the reason or reasons we need to accomplish our goal. Also, we have to keep it in a place where we can promptly reference, to keep us on track.
Ask yourself How - How will you achieve that.
What would we be able to do at the present time to enable us to achieve our objective?
It's great to know the big goal is there, yet focus on how to get there; the steps and the procedure. To at last be fruitful, we need to simply center around the means along the way that will help us to achieve the greater goal.
Those little steps.
The little changes.
Each one in turn.
At every point, keep moving and never get trapped by thoughts of perfection. We are humans, we keep improving and making progress. See yourself as the best.

You have written well @desmonddesk. We should all know we can't be perfect in this world because we ain't God. We can strive for perfection, but while doing that it shouldn't let the fight for it kill or belittle our goals and aspirations.
