What is Perfectionism? Perfectionism means a drive to achieve excellence. A perfectionist is one who has this feature.

'Perfectionism' is really a most common belief in our culture. Realize that I used the term 'perception.'

Everywhere nowadays of ours, perfectionism is viewed as great and desirable while flaw is deem as poor or negative. Everybody wants everyone else to be great. Employers want their staff to be flawless face to face. Parents want their kids to function as best. Perfectionists want their themselves and work to be ideal.

As it is so clearly seen as being good, is Perfectionism really a complete or universal value? For me, it is not.

In my experience, it is relative and is born of human understanding. Excellence is a concept. It's a concept of the perceived ideal state of matter. Nevertheless, things are the way they are. For every conditions, the truth is what's at each instance. To learn additional information, please check out: Aan-Nahl. Perfection and imperfection are therefore simply attached values.

I am not suggesting that perfectionism is not good. I am suggesting that perhaps perfectionism could throw a controlling net over our expression of pleasure. It's possible to reach the required purpose with or without having to be a perfectionist. To become a perfectionist, on the other hand, leave very little room for one to love and accept oneself unconditionally when a ideal goal is not met. And when our wishes are not met, we feel unhappy or can't be fully satisfied. Nevertheless, the fact remains we only have each time of the Present Moment to call home in. By being perfectionist, our mind is going to be forever planning and thinking about the future or lamenting about what went wrong in the past. Because of these habits, many perfectionists are unable to feel satisfaction because within their notion they never seem to do things good enough to warrant that feeling of happiness.

Out of this, we can view a paradox of life. That is:

'How could one have great peace, self-love and joy when one is just a perfectionist? '
