The definition of a perfectionist is a person who refuses to accept any standard short of perfection. The definition of perfection is the condition, state or quality of being free or as free as possible from flaws or defects.
If anyone can relate to struggling with being those two words it is truly me! Yes, yours truly Lisa Sophia…
I was raised to be a strong independent woman. The demand for achieving success is so important in my life. At times all I can see is drive, success and reaching goals. While these are great accomplishments and characteristics to have, this has been one of my biggest struggles.
What I have learned is, God is the only way for me to obtain success, keep my drive and reach my goals. Every time I attempt to obtain this on my own I am very hard on myself. Understanding the difference of Gods help versus acting in my own strength has made all the difference in my life. (2 Corinthians 12:8-10)
So, with my journey in life, the perfectionist or the desire to achieve perfection has to die daily. With God’s help I can truly walk in his strength and accomplish anything!
Hey, I hope my openness helps someone else. Let’s kick the perfectionist syndrome together!
Sincerely,
Lisa Sophia “The Ex-Perfectionist”
