Strive for excellence not perfection

Perfection doesn’t exist and striving for it will only lead to disappointment.

“Excellence is never an accident; It is the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skilful execution and the vision to see obstacles as opportunities.”

Strive for excellence, success will follow.

Perfection

You don’t have to be perfect to be happy.

Perfection doesn’t exist, aim for excellence.

Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect.  It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.  Roy T Bennett.

As stupid as it may sound perfection is a negative thought!  It doesn’t exist and chasing it can lead to many negative emotional feelings, anger, frustration and disappointment to name just three.   Aim for excellence, being very good or even the best at something is achievable and will bring you positive feelings and the rewards you are seeking.

Pursuing perfection can lead to negative feelings as it is impossible to achieve.  No one is perfect, we all have floors somewhere.

Aim for excellence or to be the best at something, keep your goals achievable.
