Falling in love, failing to fit in, failing elsewhere in life, comparing happiness and success, experiences, speaking up, writing from your heart, going out wearing your bold look, wearing your heart on the sleeves, trying new things, dancing to the beat of your own drum, challenging your beliefs, comfort zones and living a little more –BEING YOU may all seem daunting to the soul… but trust me it ain’t troubling the soul. It’s your comfort zones that are feeling threatened. The idea of perfection chains us down to the fear of what may go wrong but baby, we’ve got the whole damn galaxy within us.

What is this idea of perfection? Where does this come really from?
Perfection is an outlook, perspective or as I like to call it “seeing through tinted glasses” by which one views everything–life, struggles, daily experiences, self- worth and others around.
More often than not, they are disillusioned and far off from the “reality”. It seems as if it has already plagued the younger generation where they’re always so preoccupied and conscious about their “looks” when they haven’t even hit puberty yet or reached adolescence. Even as I write this small article… I’m filled with the voices or an idea of what is a “perfect blog post” in my head before even getting started!
DON’T GET ME WRONG…Perfection or at least striving towards a better result, goal/performance from oneself or others optimistically to reach closer to unlocking or discovering their truest level of potential is not wrong. Yes, we need to have a vision for ourselves to continuously remind and push ourselves towards our purpose so that we are aware of exactly what we need to do next to achieve our goals and desires. However, it is wrong when we let the fears override us and hinder us from taking actions fiercely. It starts to affect and hit us really hard when we are constantly overthinking many of the trivial things… only to realize, they hadn’t been so important in the long run.
We must NOT succumb to the fears and be afraid of the uncertainties, hardships, or failures that comes along when faced with adversities. In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take. Quit holding on to this idea of how YOU expected situations to be like it. Face the reality which is going to be nothing like you hoped it to be… they’re meant to be embraced. Simply let go of the things you have no control over and just smile. Be glad you took on a journey towards self- improvement..or chasing excellence, forever inspired towards creating yourself, building skills and most of all, taking it as a learning lesson.
Disappointment= Expectations–Reality
Sooo.. “obsessive”, maladaptive perfectionism is detrimental for us and can keep us away from enjoying and trusting the process and forgetting about the ” bigger picture” in mind.
