Perfection is the enemy of progress. - Craig Groeschel
Victory is in your
attitude. Not in having perfect circumstances. - Joyce Meyer
Has the reader ever had so much to do that they did not
know where to start?
As the author has mentioned, she is currently covering
for a coworker, meaning she has been doing two jobs for the last four and a
half months and at the time of this writing there is not a definite end date. Work has included many ten-hour days and
working weekends. While working through this busy time, the author has tried to
balance her life including work, personal and goals. Honestly, it has been
extremely hard because the author has perfectionist tendencies and is now
working to be a recovering perfectionist. During this extremely busy time, the
author has learned unbelievably valuable lessons about perfectionism.
First, what is a perfectionist? According to Merriam-Webster
dictionary, it is a “disposition to regard anything short of perfection as unacceptable.”
The author has thought long and hard about why she has
perfectionist tendencies and has had many contemplative times during the last four
and a half months. Here are some questions the author analyzed as she has
worked through this time:
1. What is perfect?
2. Who defines it?
3. Why is perfection the “goal”?
ACTION: Are you a
perfectionist? Do you have perfectionist tendencies? Are they affecting your
life?
