Chapter One
The trap of perfection
After over 33 years of walking the earth believing the problem was with everything else but me, I just recently found out most of the goal I never achieved were the direct result of a very big lie I’ve bin telling myself all my life, “Perfection is the goal!”. Looking back now, I even have a list of rules, that the first command of which reads like this: “Do it, only if you can do it perfectly”, and oh boy! How long would be the list of the things I didn’t do just because I might have not been able to do them perfectly. And how much have I avoided taking credit for my great accomplishments just because I thought they were not perfect enough.
