The Struggle with Perfectionism

Who else suffers from perfectionism? Please tell me I’m not alone! And can I just tell you, the feeling doesn’t go away more and more with every success you have or with ever dollar you bring in. I also believe, in a way, that being a perfectionist (and also having the inability to be content) is key to being a business owner. It keeps us striving for more and working hard… but it is a character flaw, no? What helps you get over your perfectionist mindset? For me I think it helps to remind myself of the ones that love me even though I’m not perfect - even though I still try to be. It’s also about knowing that my imperfection is key to allowing those around me to love me unconditionally, because without imperfections, how can anyone around us have the opportunity to show grace, mercy and true love? - Either way… still waiting for the perfect to come.
