Pursuit Of Perfection

Here’s another diary entry of the ordinary girl. Lets read it together..

Dear Diary,
I am so very irritated now. The painting which would have perfectly adorned the wall opposite bedroom door, is now sitting beside me spoiled with a wrong stroke of brush. Ok, fine I’m exaggerating. But all I can notice in this beautiful painting is the last stroke that went wrong! Why? Because of all the rare diseases I suffer from, Perfection is one of them! Yes, I want everything to be damn perfect. It does take a toll on me but if I am doing anything, anything for that matter, it has to be just perfect; else it will leave me dissatisfied to the core. It’s better off I don’t do it if I can’t do it perfectly.

Yes this pursuit of perfection does drive me and as well as others crazy. I go shopping with someone, I will make the person crazy until I don’t find the perfect dress! That was just one example. Just because I want things to be only perfect and nothing else, therefore things take time in my case.

I crave for perfection but still I have started to accept that not everything or everyone can be perfect. So it’s better to accept things as they are, not mediocre but it’s ok to be less than perfect because perfection often leads to boredom. And who wants boredom?
So, this painting better be on the wall and I know I will learn to appreciate the hardwork that went into its creation rather than criticizing its flaws.

Everything to anything,
That I do or see;
It might drive others crazy,
But perfect it has to be!

Ordinary “Perfection-crazy” Girl.

How often do you run after perfection? Or you accept the things as less than perfect?

  1. Perfection is boring and stressful too. So, its perfectly ok for things to be just okay.

  2. I’ve been lucky not to ever have been much of a perfectionist, fortunately! I tend to plow through life, getting things done as quickly as possible. I don’t slow down long enough to question things!
