Striving For Perfection Is Anything But Perfect.
–Jairek Robbins<\/blockquote>

Do you consider yourself a perfectionist or have you ever been called a perfectionist? Once upon a time we viewed that as a compliment but have since learned we erred in our thinking.<\/p>

Striving for perfection is stressful, and since we\u2019re human, it really isn\u2019t possible. Being known as a high performer with a commitment to excellence is to be valued, trying to attain perfection can weigh you down and actually impede progress.<\/p>

Author Cindy Yantis shared the following thoughts about perfection and progress:\u00b7 Progress is fluid and open. Perfection is rigid and inflexible.<\/p>

\u00b7 Perfection is exhausting. Progress is invigorating.<\/p>

\u00b7 Perfection wears a mask. Progress is transparent.<\/p>

\u00b7 Perfection is endless because you never get there. Progress is endless because you’re always there.<\/p>

\u00b7 Perfection focuses on what’s not working, the flaws, the not-enoughs, the old paradigms.<\/p>

\u00b7 Progress looks at what is working, the improvements, the discoveries, the aha moments that come from the realization of looking at things in a new way.<\/p>

\u00b7 Perfection is obsessed with time. Progress doesn’t measure time because it’s right now. It’s a continuation to the next right-now.<\/p>

\u00b7 Progress represents the in-betweens, the moments between milestones and goals reached.<\/p>

Never stop striving for improvement but do resist getting bogged down with the goal of being perfect!<\/p>

Sincerely,
Mike and Jan<\/p><\/div>

Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be our best. Perfectionism is not about healthy achievement and growth; it’s a shield.
