What's Perfectionism? Perfectionism means a meticulous drive to realize excellence. A perfectionist is one who has this feature.

'Perfectionism' is a most common opinion in our culture. Observe that I used the word 'idea.'

Every where these days of ours, perfectionism is deemed good and desirable while imperfection is consider as poor or bad. If people claim to discover more on the perfectionist, there are lots of online libraries people can investigate. Everybody wants everybody else to be perfect. Bosses want their staff to become perfect at work. Parents want their kiddies to function as the best. Perfectionists want their themselves and work to be ideal.

Is Perfectionism really a total or universal value, because it is indeed highly regarded as being good? For me, it is not so.

To me, it's relative and is born of human understanding. Excellence is a notion. It is a notion of a perceived ideal state of affair. However, things are the way they are. For every conditions, the simple truth is what is at each occasion. Perfection and imperfection are consequently only attached values.

I am not suggesting that perfectionism is not good. I am suggesting that perhaps perfectionism may throw a controlling web over our expression of happiness. It's possible to reach the mandatory purpose with or without being a perfectionist. To become a perfectionist, on-the other hand, leave almost no room so that you can accept and love oneself unconditionally each time a ideal goal is not achieved. And when our dreams aren't achieved, we feel unhappy or can't be completely satisfied. But, the truth is we just have each time of the Current Moment to call home in. By being perfectionist, our mind will be forever planning and thinking about the future or lamenting about what went wrong before. Because of these habits, many perfectionists cannot feel satisfaction because in their understanding they never appear to do things good-enough to warrant that feeling of contentment.

Out of this, we could visit a paradox of life. That is:

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