Don’t Expect To Be Perfect

<p>Ok, so you&rsquo;re aiming to be the very best at everything. But what if you fail? So long as you tried, that&rsquo;s all right. Who have you ever met who never failed at anything, however small?</p> <p>You&rsquo;re allowed to be human, you know. In fact, you&rsquo;re actively encouraged to be human. Don&rsquo;t try to set yourself above everyone else &mdash; the rest of us fail from time to time.</p> <p>If you&rsquo;re not a perfectionist in any way &mdash; sloppy, haphazard, unorganized, messy, and with a &ldquo;so what&rdquo; attitude, please skip this section. But I hardly know anyone like that. I have a friend who is a silversmith. His house is a mess, his personal life is all over the place, but every piece of jewelry he turns out has to be exactly right. Most of us have some perfectionist ten tendencies.</p> <p>My jeweler friend is quite right that every piece of work has to be perfect ( certainly at his prices ). If any piece is faulty, he shouldn&rsquo;t sell it. But that doesn&rsquo;t mean that he should beat himself up for having failed. He can just recognize that not everything works out and get to work on the next piece.</p> <p>I can&rsquo;t stand people who seem perfect. They make me feel inadequate. And that&rsquo;s not a nice way to go through life, is it?</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@xanandthakurx/dont-expect-to-be-perfect-98979df4ab55">Website</a></p>
