If this is you, I hate to break it to you, but perfection doesn’t exist, so it’s time to give it up. Don’t get down on yourself. It’s not your fault. We’ve been conditioned to believe that perfectionism means that we take pride in our work and that we appreciate attention to detail. However, in actuality, this mindset is a recipe for disaster.
