No More Perfect!
Why is it that some of us try so darn hard to be perfect? We want to be (or appear to be) the perfect wife, mother, housekeeper, employee, friend… We also want to have the perfect spouse, children, car, house, clothes, accessories, career, body, hair, skin… It’s exhausting just thinking about being perfect in all of those areas!
The truth is – and you know this – nobody is perfect! Stop trying to be perfect and just try to do your best. While you are trying to be (or appear to be) perfect, life is passing you by. When your focus is so narrowed in on doing each thing perfectly, you are missing out on much in life.
You know what else? People don’t like perfect people! If you are so busy trying to be perfect, and everyone knows that nobody is perfect, then you appear to be disingenuous. People are naturally drawn to other people who are sincere, honest, candid and genuine – with their flaws and all.
So, stop the madness! Relax and realize that your need for perfectionism is just a need for control. Find out what it is in your life that is driving you to perfectionism and fix it. It’s time to enjoy every drop out of life. You deserve it and those around you deserve to be with the real and not-so-perfect you!
Much happiness to you!

I could not have said it better! This is such a wonderful post… I was about to say perfect! lol
Claire´s last blog ..It was thrown out
I truly enjoyed this blog and my sentiments exactly I would take a friend with all hers or his flaws over one trying to be perfect in every way. I actually know someone like this and it’s often hard to deal with. Thanks for this insightful blog.
