Don't think about it, you can't be perfect

There is no such thing as absolute perfection in the world, and if you can't recognize this and blindly demand yourself with the standard of "perfection", then you will definitely live a very tired life! In fact, many people are smart and talented, but they always fail to succeed precisely because they are too focused on "perfection".

Perfectionists are everywhere in our lives. They often have an almost harsh and perfect attitude towards others, themselves, and things, and the result is that they run into walls everywhere and suffer from pain. In fact, in reality, there is no perfection in life, and perfection only exists in the ideal. There are regrets everywhere in life, and this is the real life. The pursuit of that so-called "perfection" everywhere will only bring us more regrets and will only make our lives less "perfect".

Some people think they are chasing perfection, but in fact they are the most pitiful people, because they are pursuing perfection in imperfection, and this perfection does not exist at all.

As the saying goes, "No one is perfect, and no gold is perfect." "There are indeed many imperfections in life, everyone will have such and such shortcomings, there is no truly perfect person, even the four beauties of ancient China have their own shortcomings. According to historical records, Xi Shi's feet are big, Wang Zhaojun's shoulders are shaved, Diao Chan's earlobes are too small, and Yang Guifei also suffers from fox odor. Although the truth is simple, when we really face our own shortcomings and unsatisfactory things in life, we always feel annoyed and irritable.

In fact, the standard of perfection is relative, depending on people's aesthetics, today fat is beautiful, tomorrow may be thin for beauty. The ancients thought that small feet were beautiful, and if there was a "three-inch golden lotus" walking on the street today, passers-by would definitely laugh off their big teeth.

Perfectionism cannot overcome its own infatuation and impulse to pursue perfection before doing anything. They want to do things perfectly, which is certainly desirable, but before they do something, they always want to make the objective conditions and their own abilities also reach the perfection level before they do it. As a result, the lives of these people are always in a state of waiting. The reason why they didn't do it was not that they didn't want to do it, but that they waited for all the conditions to be ripe, so they didn't do it, and as a result, they spent their imperfect lives waiting for perfection. There is such a perfectionist who wants to write a paper and first tries several, dozen, or even dozens of options before he starts writing it. This is certainly a good thing, because he may have found the best solution in the comparison. However, when he began to write, he would find that the plan he had chosen was still imperfect, and there were still some errors and shortcomings, none of which were perfect, and he had to find an "absolutely perfect" solution. So, he put this plan back on hold and continued to look for what he thought was "absolutely perfect", or put down the topic of the thesis and think about something else. In fact, nothing in the world is "absolutely perfect", and there is no such thing as what he is looking for. Such people are always reluctant to make any kind of mistakes, fearing that they will damage their reputation. So, he spent his whole life in the troubles of searching, and as a result, nothing was accomplished. Perfectionists are often reluctant to accept their own or others' shortcomings and shortcomings, and are very picky. Some people don't have any good friends, they can't find a partner, they can't get along with anyone, and they often change units, why? That's because he doesn't look down on anyone, and even ignores the main advantages of others because of some minor faults.

Perfectionist people are conceited on the surface, but deep down they have low self-esteem. Because he rarely sees the advantages, always pays attention to the shortcomings, is always not satisfied, and rarely affirms himself, he rarely has the opportunity to gain confidence, and of course he will feel inferior. If he is not satisfied, he will not be happy, and pain will always follow him, and those around him will be unhappy as well.

It is true that there are many imperfections in life, but we can choose to get out of the imperfect mindset instead of lamenting the "imperfections". Of course, it is not blindly pursuing the so-called perfection. Abandon the mentality of demanding perfection everywhere, and behave and do things with a relaxed and happy attitude, you will find more beautiful things in life, and you will find that it is so simple to live happily.
