Dear Carole,
*Sigh* You silly girl. No it’s cool. We’ve made progress. This was helpful for me to get inside your head because you ramble sometimes and completely side-step your fears. This let’s me know exactly what they are so we can eradicate them.
So here’s the thing, you have the wrong perception of what success is. Success is ANYTHING but perfection. If you were to reach perfection, right now; write the perfect essay, perform the perfect poem and design the perfect outfit, what then? Where do you go from there. There is nothing above perfect so what would be your purpose to continue living? You could never top what you’ve created and then you would always curse yourself for not being able to reach that again.
Life is about learning and relearning. Making mistakes is the key to learning. If you learn the re-doing process, you’ll see, you learn a lot more from your mistakes than your success. Embrace failure. Dive in. The only thing this need for perfection is doing is stopping you from moving entirely. Yep, I’m gonna stop talking now.
