Aiming for perfection usually winds up in a project or something else never being finished.So go for good enough instead.Don't u﻿se it as an excuse to slack off. But simply realize that there is something called good enough and when you are there then you are finished with whatever you are doing.

1. Go for good enough

“Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks.”

By watching too many movies, listening to too many songs and just taking in what the world is telling you it is very easy to be lulled into dreams of perfection.But in real life it clashes with reality and tends to:<ul><li>Cause much suffering and stress within you and in the people around you.</li><li>Harm or possibly lead you to end relationships, jobs, projects etc. just because your expectations are out of this world.</li></ul>

2. Realize that you hurt yourself and the people around you

Set human standards for everyone and accept that life is like that.Everything and everyone has flaws and things don't always go as planned. You can still improve things but they will never be perfect.And realize that you won’t be rejected if things or you aren't perfect.

3. Accept that you are human and so are everyone else. 

Comparing yourself to other people on a regular basis can easily lead to feeling inferior. There will always be a lot of people ahead of you in any area of life.So compare yourself to yourself…<ul><li>See your improvement and how far you have come.</li><li>Look back at what you have overcome.</li><li>Appreciate yourself and focus what you have done and are doing rather than what everyone else is doing.</li></ul>

4. Compare yourself to yourself. 

So you realize that perfectionism will harm you and you try to avoid it. But people and media and the society around you have an influence over how you think and feel.One of the best ways I have found to practically lessen that influence is by doing the right thing as much as possible.When you do that other people’s expectations have less and less power over you and you take more charge of your life.

5. Do what you think is the right thing. 

“People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it.”
