Healthy Perfectionism

I personally believe striving towards perfection is a superpower.

Why?

Because it is never ending.

Pure perfection doesn't exist. It cannot really be achieved by any human being.

We can make machines perfect if they operate with clear and congruent frameworks under optimal circumstances. But humans can't.

And that is precisely why it is such a powerful force to have within you.

Because it can never be achieved.

But if you operate under the realm of perfectionism you will reach higher heights than if you operate under the realm of realism.

Every single great leader or inventor throughout history believed in reaching something beyond what was comprehensible.

And that is why they went so far.

Now, do not let your imperfect actions or decisions make you insecure.

That is not the point of being a healthy perfectionist.

Be above the insecurity. Be above the negative voice. Do not let it affect you negatively.

Smile even if you know it wasn't good enough.

Be happy you got 90/100 by believing you can get 100 instead of reaching 70/100 by being realistic.

Because you probably wouldn't have done that well if you operated under any other mindset anyway.
