It's not always the case. Life isn't perfect, i don't expect others to be perect, so why be so hard on myself?Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185423759021869130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-23028228564226226172011-03-10T10:34:49.273-05:002011-03-10T10:34:49.273-05:00Thanks for sharing this lovely post and for remind...Thanks for sharing this lovely post and for reminding everyone of what should be obvious. Perfection is an often over-rated term, not to mention a relative concept and overused as an adjective. Your inadequate B may have seemed perfect to another student and another person's perfect life may not be what I aspire for. Striving to be the best one can be isn't a bad thing - it's when we attach results to our efforts, instead of being proud of the latter - that perfection becomes a problem. We live in a result driven world where it's not enough that we're diligent, dedicated, passionate and hard working, but it has to show up in the outcome for it to be considered 'Perfect'. My 2 cents -'Perfection' is the pride we feel after a job well done, regardless of whether it's acknowledged with an A or not.

I've started making myself let go two weeks before our performance date - if it's not done then, it's not getting done, and we don't need it. By the time the performance rolls around, I've convinced myself that it is fine.Princess Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707441750165767852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560550235811309882.post-20193906592234572792011-03-09T10:02:13.326-05:002011-03-09T10:02:13.326-05:00Oh, lady, I feel your pain.
