Stop Trying to Be Perfect

20,906 views

Perfection is a prison. We are living in a time where we are constantly pressured with messages of what we should look like, what we should be, what is ideal vs. what is unwanted, what is perfect. All these messages tell us that we are not enough and will never be enough. But it's all a lie. Perfection is a lie. So before you judge yourself, watch this!

This video touched my heart and soul and somehow reached that part of me the never felt like I was quite enough and sent me down the road to perfectionism. How amazing that this video and song made feel I have nothing to attain or strive for to be worthy of love. I just have to be. Thank you!

Failure is a stepping stone to success, the old adage is so true. Perfection can be an ambition but should not deter our journey. It can be an aspiration, but need not become the underlying reason of our satisfaction or happiness. Life unfolds based on our state of mind, and if perfection becomes one of the steps to climb, it may cease our climb, so let it be the pinnacle where we have to finally reach.

Yvonne McAskill

I started to understand this truth when as a budding watercolour artist I discovered that Creation was not symmetrical.
And started looking at it all through new eyes...
And as we are all part of the same Creation...we were not just good but very good...warts and all.
Freedom always comes from looking and understanding that we are as we are...
