“Stop being perfect and start being remarkable”

If you want everything to be perfect, especially right of the bat, then you delude yourself
out in a lot of situations in life. Not only do you fail to complete specific tasks, you even
fail to start them because you want everything to be perfect and flawless at the starting
point therefore causing you to procrastinate heavily.

“Perfectionism” is an anti-mastery mind-set. Mastery means focusing on the

process rather than simply focussing narrow-mindedly on results. A perfectionist is
totally opposite of a master because he always focuses solely on the results, therefore
their own success.
Rather than being a perfectionist, try to be a remarkable person.

Be a person that sets his/her own pace systematically and not let others dictate it
to him/her. A person that has mastery over a specific skill but isn‟t afraid to venture out
of his/her comfort zone hungry to gain more, and learn more. A very hardworking and
unique individual and yet, acknowledges that nothing is set in stone for people
sometimes fail, and that‟s okay. Be a person that tempers himself/herself in face of
failure and rejection instead of perceiving it as a permanent slump and taking it lying
down. A person unfazed amidst change and sets realistic and ideal standards for
himself.

Now, one might argue that if he/she stops being a perfectionist, wouldn‟t his/her
output suffer? Not just work but every area of one‟s life where his/her perfectionism
drove himself/herself to find “perfect” be it in the form of family, spouse, friends, home,
food, and etc.. The problem with this is that there is a big fat lie within, waiting to be
addressed, which is „perfectionism is excellence‟. One try to equate the two but that‟s
not what it really is.
Stop being perfect and start being remarkable.
