PERFECTION A myth?

Realistically, striving for perfection may somewhat be only a motivator to excel in a certain domain.  There should never be a depletion of self-worth or self-confidence when perfection has not been reached.  The human factor constantly interferes with the notion of perfection.  Whether it is a mere droplet of inconsistency, a smudge or ripple, a tremor on a calm surface, it is just enough to cause the gripping feeling of failure with your core.

<I wanted it to be just perfect> you’ll say!  Despite the imperfection, the strive for perfection has nevertheless brought you to the height of your performance, delineating the best paths to be taken, motivating practice, revision and eliminating all possible, predictable elements to reach your goal in all your splendor.

Left to life is the unpredictable.  How you react and deal with these will maintain the excellence of the outcome. 

On these moments, when you fumble, take a moment to remember all that you went through to achieve your goal and then position yourself on the incident seeming to dim the perfect result.  Size it for what it is, no more, no less and move on.  There will be times to strive for perfection again and you will have that much more experience.

When you have done all that was realistically possible, you should retain the self-satisfaction of your accomplishment and accept that you are a human being with a full life to enhance yourself and excel.

Be that as it may, striving for perfection allows you to excel.  Excellence is therefore your ultimate goal!
