How To Stop Perfection In Life

You have reached perfection in life? There are no more words in this world that can describe your accomplishments. No matter what you do, no matter how big or small you make it, your perfection in life still eludes you. Have you ever thought that maybe you are perfect in some aspect of your life but not in others? Have you ever thought that you may have made a mistake and have not lived up to your full potential in one way or another?


The first time I realized that I was not perfect was at the end of a very long road. I had worked so hard and for so long and when the road finally ended I was absolutely devastated. I went from running miles everyday to simply walking a few blocks. And yet somehow, I still managed to arrive home at my destination. For the most part, my journey was unblemished and I was left with only perfection to look back on.

So, what is perfection in life? It is not being perfect...not having no mistakes...not have I lived up to my life's dreams. The reason why I was never able to find any way to bring it all into balance again, is because there were always little mistakes tucked away in the back of my mind that I could not seem to notice. I would take little steps forward only to stop right where I started and then I'd go even further. Perfection in life seems so elusive, doesn't it?

All throughout my life, I found great things and ended up living my dreams. But in doing so, I found myself chasing after every little imperfection... until I discovered the one bold expression for perfection. And this discovery changed my life for ever. In his book, The Formula for Personal Power, Philippe Leopold-Meguire-eto offers readers a unique insight into the true nature of perfection. His work helps to reclaim and redefine perfection.

To be a perfectionist comes with many challenges. However, like a true champion athlete, a perfectionist finds great happiness in their journey. Because striving for perfection leaves you feeling dissatisfied with yourself, and because perfectionism robs you of enjoying your successes and living in the happiness and fulfillment that you deserve. So, if you're looking to pursue perfection, first identify your perfectionism and find ways to overcome it. Here are two tips on how you can do just that.

Refuse to Accept Unfairness: No matter how unfair things may seem, try your best to ignore what's said to you and to accept that things aren't perfect. Whether you believe in the impossible or not, there are always things that we'd rather not see or have to deal with. It is okay to own your imperfections and your struggles. However, don't allow others to tear you down through their imperfections-especially those that result from having been hurt or experiencing pain in the past. When you allow others to talk about their negative experiences, you will hear all the positive things that you've always wanted to hear about yourself and life in general-and you will also hear all the reasons you should hold onto your good taste.

Let Go of Guilt: Many people struggle with feeling guilty because they feel like they are chasing after perfection-but that is exactly what you shouldn't be doing. Perfectionism can rob you of finding happiness and joy in other things in life. We should instead embrace our imperfections and let go of the guilt. The truth is that no matter what is holding you back from happiness and fulfillment, there will always be things you can do to improve yourself and make yourself a better person. Don't let perfection scare you!


Whether you have been struggling with your weight for too long, been afraid of intimacy before a relationship, been self-conscious about your looks since childhood, or have struggled with the fear of looking dirty, there is always something you can do to improve yourself and your life. The pursuit of perfection is a good thing, but letting it take over can be detrimental to your health, relationships, and even your sanity. Instead of letting perfection rule your life and your health, find joy and accomplishment in other areas. Pursuit of perfection in life isn't for the weak or the desperate; it is for the strong who take pride in their accomplishments.
