- Don’t feel the need to be perfect. The need to be perfect in everything you do puts loads of pressure on your shoulders that you surely don’t need; you will ultimately wind up closely resembling Atlas collapsing under the weight of the world, and who really wants to be that sorrowful, overmatched guy? Futilely pursing perfection makes you scared to attempt new projects because you know whatever result you achieve, however laudable, can never measure up to that impossibly lofty standard. The fear of failure impairs you, restrains you, suffocates you, enslaves you….…prevents you from tackling life with total, reckless abandon. Yet that is what you undyingly want to do–eternally! And while you obviously want to do your absolute best in any endeavor you commit to, shuck perfection aside as a primary goal and aim for excellence instead. Not only will this new mindset offer you greater satisfaction for a job well done, it will also bestow upon you something majorly more important in the long run: Peace of mind.
