I have always been a perfectionist, constantly striving to perfect anything and everything I decided to attach my name to. I didnt realize then, that my perception of perfection was shaped by others and their reactions to my work, accomplishments, opinions, etc. As a result, in my eyes, I always fell short and never truly felt as if I achieved perfection in any of my completed projects. Within the past couple of months, through a lot of internal reflection, self-work, etc., I have redefined my perception of perfection. I have moved away from striving to be perfect in the eyes of others and have embraced being perfectly me. I still identify myself as a perfectionist, but now, for the first time, perfection is finally achievable and my personal pursuit of perfection as become so much more enjoyable, rewarding, and enlightening. I encourage all of my fellow perfectionists to stop criticizing themselves on the basis of how others may view their work, but to embrace their true-selves and acknowledge the perfection that naturally resides within them.
