Are You Suffering From Perfectionism?

Life is not perfect. No one is perfect. If you are suffering from perfectionism, you are not alone.

If perfectionism is holding you back, if you are stuck, you can set yourself free. You can get your life back.

According to Tom Oliver, ‘If you are suffering from perfectionism, try to adopt the attitude that life is a rehearsal- all the time. Once you free yourself up to make mistakes, you will instantly improve and will have much more fun doing it. Then your productivity will soar because your perfectionism will no longer block you from living your energy and actually doing the work.’

You are not getting things done because you want everything to be perfect. You want to get everything perfect before you sent it out. You don’t want anyone to see your work. You are hiding things because you think they are not good enough.

You can hide things all you like. If you want to improve your life, you must embrace mistakes. If you don’t want to make mistakes, you are not going anywhere.

According to Tom, ‘Only doing the work will make you any better.’ If you want to get better, you must let go of perfectionism.

Why Every Moment Matters

‘Man is but a passing flame….’- George MacDonald

According to George MacDonald, ‘Man is but a passing flame….’ That is true.

Life is passing. Whether we are living well or not, life is passing. It is not going to wait for you. It is certainly not going to wait for anyone, not even me.

And that is why we should never joke with our lives. That is also why we should live our lives to the fullest.

All we have is now, right now, right where you are, not later, not tomorrow, not next week.

Don’t use this moment to worry about your past mistakes. Don’t go there!

Instead of reliving your past mistakes, your past failures, your past disappointments, why not use it to explore new opportunities?

Why not use it to love yourself even more? Why not use it to connect with other great people in your life?

Why not use it to enjoy a great book, a hot cup of coffee?

Why not use it to do what you have always wanted to do? Why not use it to go to where you have always wanted to go? Why not?

Why not? You deserve it. Give it to yourself. You deserve to be here. Live your life really well. Do not try to fix your life, just live it.

Remember, no one is perfect. You are not alone in your fight. So whatever it is that is bothering you, you can face it.

All you need to do is to believe in yourself. Remember, ‘You are not alone.’
