Stop Chasing Perfection

There’s no such thing as perfection. It doesn’t exist.

Yet, it doesn’t stop many of us from chasing it.

So if we’re chasing something that doesn’t exist, what does it do to our psyche, our self-esteem, and most importantly, our progress.

I can tell you what happens.

It can leave us stuck, anxious, unproductive, stunted, and discontent.

Think about the people these days who chase physical perfection. Have you ever seen an episode of Botched?

It’s a reality TV show where people who have had bad, or botched, plastic surgery have consultations with two plastic surgeons to try to have their botched procedures fixed.

There have been people on this show who have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on surgeries and procedures…chasing perfection.

Yet, they never reach their ultimate goal because perfection doesn’t exist.

Also, in the process, they waste money, and botch their faces and bodies to a state of disrepair.
