I realize that, as a human, there is no way that I can be absolutely perfect.
Expecting myself to be perfect is a lesson in frustration that I can do without!
Therefore, I set my goals for more realistic expectations and set myself up for success, instead.
When I set a goal, I divide it into a series of tasks that I know are attainable.
Each task I accomplish puts me one step closer to my goal, so I can feel successful all along the way.
Letting go of perfection reduces my stress.
When I try to do something perfectly, every little imperfection irritates me.
I acknowledge that I can do a great job without everything having to be absolutely ideal.
Trying to be perfect wastes my time.
I could be completing other tasks or doing something I really like to do.
When I look at it this way, I wonder how I could have ever spent my time in the endless pursuit of perfection!
My confidence and self-esteem rise with the realization that I am good without being perfect.
I can now see the illogic in expecting myself to be perfect.
It would be like expecting a tree to get up and walk or a pig to fly!
Trees are not created to walk; pigs do not have the ability to fly; and humans are simply not made to be impeccable!
Today, I strive to accept myself as the wonderful person that I am without expecting perfection.
When have you received accolades for a job well done – even though it wasn’t perfect?
