Embracing Imperfection
Give up Perfection and Embrace the Flaws that Make You Unique
Embrace Your ‘Flaws’
Remember that you're only human. Now let's take a look at those perceived shortcomings of yours. Are you so sure these are flaws, or might they be advantages in other ways? Take, for example, professional basketball player Isaiah Thomas. Considered 'short' by most pro ball standards (he was only 5'9"), he led the league in assists and steals, using his height to spot angles others might miss. The fact he was shorter became an asset when it came to playing well.

ONE THING THAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS BOOK
Start with Kindness
Perfectionistic tendencies can lead us to become very harsh and judgmental, especially toward ourselves. When you're ready to embrace imperfection, this is the first thing you need to tackle. This starts with accepting the fact you're only human, and humans will always make mistakes. Not only is this normal, but it's encouraged because it is the best way to learn. To act on this, you start with cutting yourself some slack. Be kind to yourself when you mess up. Want to take this idea to the next level? Start recognizing those around you who are worthy of the same kindness. Please give them the same level of empathy and compassion as well.

Do you ever find yourself nitpicking at projects or, worse, not starting them at all? What about fussing over whether something has been done right? Or making someone go back to do it all over again? If you have ever unloaded and repacked the dishwasher after someone else loaded it, then this article is for you.
Perfectionism is a blight upon humanity that convinces you that you're never good enough, no matter how much effort you put into things. You'd think we would avoid this kind of thinking just because it's so much work, but in truth, we’re raised to believe that if you can’t do something right, perhaps you shouldn’t be doing it at all.
Imagine how much you miss out on with this kind of attitude.
