So what does all that mean? It means it is virtually impossible to be perfect by today's standards. Why? Because the standards we live by are changing at the blink of an eye. What was perfect 5 minutes ago is old news today. So why try to live up to other people's standards? Let's try living up to our own standards and ideals.
Here are some basic ideas to think about to help you get out of the "trying to be perfect" mode.
1. You are never finished for the day. There is always more to be done. Realize that and do all you can, when you can, and let the rest sit there until the next day.
2. You will never get everything right. Yep. Never. Why? Because it is not you that is the judge, it is everyone else and there are too many opinions to try to appease. It would be impossible to make everyone else happy. As soon as you make one person happy, another one will be unhappy for what made that first person happy. So what is the solution. Do your best. Let that be your new motto. "I will do my best". If you do your best, there can be no regrets, no stress about what you should have done, because you did all you could.
3. Remember what you think is perfect now won't be perfect in 5 years. Remember those great hairstyles of the 80's. You thought those were perfect didn't you( I remember seeing you with that mullet and spiked up hair). Well perfect is perfect right...that means it shouldn't change. But again we do change, times do change. Instead try doing what feels the best to you now. Dress in the way that makes you feel your best. Do your work how you feel it should best be done. There will always those that disagree, naysayers. As long as you did your best, again, no regrets and no stress.
Wishing you the very best,
Dr. Zipp
