The Number One Way to Overcome Perfection: Realize Nobody's Perfect!

We seem to think everyone else has "perfected" life, and we're the only ones scrambling around.  At work, the person in the nice office has "perfected" their job.  In our neighborhood, the next door neighbor with the pristine garden has "perfected" domestic life.  On double dates, the other couple has the "perfect" relationship.

I don't think so.

The number one way to let go of the ideal of perfection (which, by the way, will make you crazy) is to realize that NOBODY'S PERFECT.  There are some people who are great at what they do.  Great does not equal perfect.  Under the right circumstances, an honest person will tell you that. 

And even the Oprahs and the Donald Trumps of the world aren't perfect.  Lots of money does not equal perfect.

So stop thinking you're the only one who can't find their socks in the morning!
