Are you striving for perfection or excellence? If perfection is your aim, you may want to reconsider things. First of all, perfection does not exist so you will be searching and searching, and in your search comes the fear of not being perfect. If Perfection does not exist yet you are striving for it and fearing not reaching it, you will be striving and fearing for the rest of your life. “Perfection” can keep you from stepping outside of your comfort zone and therefore never taking chances and allowing yourself to grow and learn. Rather than shooting for perfection, aim for excellence. Excellence involves working hard to perform to the best of your abilities, being consistent, taking chances, making mistakes, learning from them and continuing to push through whatever barriers may be placed in your way. To succeed, it is important to grow, learn and widen your horizons. Perfectionism does nothing of that sort and can limit your chances of success!
