BEING REALISTIC...

It is natural to want to be perfect, but aiming for perfection inevitably leads to negative feelings simply because – in work, play, friendship or love – perfection just is not possible most of the time. So challenge your perfectionist thoughts. Be realistic in what you expect of yourself, of other people, of the world. Do not stop aiming high, achieving well, or expecting the best of others, but stop feeling bad when things do fall short of perfection in some way.
