A LOSER’S GAME
Perfectionism is a loser’s game. No matter how hard you might try, you will never be perfect at everything all the time. You might be perfect at many things at many times, but you will still make mistakes.
Perfectionism is a loser’s game. Don’t be a loser; be an achiever. Achievers realize that even in their best accomplishments, they are still human. Achievers get important things done, but they realize that getting lots of things done would be impossible if they let perfectionism rule their lives.
Perfectionism is a loser’s game. I am not saying that we should ignore our skills and our craft. I believe that we should always aim for the best that we can deliver in every situation. All I am saying is that we should not let our perfectionistic streak become our sole criterion for success.
Perfectionism is a loser’s game. I speak from experience because I am a recovering perfectionist. I had to be a loser before I could be a winner. I had to face the fact that while there are things that I cannot ever do extremely well, there are some things that I can do extremely well. That is true for every person.
Perfectionism is a loser’s game. Don’t play that game. Focus on what you can do extremely well and keep on doing it, refining it, and expanding it. That is how you will be a winner.
