The Perfectionist

sometimes i feel i am such a perfectionist..alway thinking about how to be the best and how to have the perfect performance, be it in examinations or other area...if not i will be thinking about how to be the best i could..keep on improving and keep going foward...what to do and how to do...



To some this might be a painful thing, because it is impossible to have the perfect situation all the time, how could everything u do be the perfect thing to do or u wish to do? to others, it is a stressful thing for them, because no one is perfect and to have this endless cycle of trying to improve and going forward all the time feels like an endless marathon.



from a personal pt of view, someone with a perfectionist mindset is also stubborn in his thinkings. stubborn is somewhat the refusal to change in one's thinkings. it might sound contradicting to some, because how can one who seek to improve himself all the time be stubborn and refuse to change? because the fact that in most cases, there is no such thing as the best and perfect situation/action. However from the perfectionist pt of view, he has his own standard of what is the best/perfect thing and he treats other pt of view as imperfect or substandard to that of his. because of his relentless effort to keep going towards "the perfect thing", he often block out other viewpt. but how can there be a best/perfect all time? what do you mean by the "the best husband/boyfriend/girlfriend"? what does it consitute to be the best thing to do? it all varies depending on how one perceive of a situation and how one choose to have the outcome to be.

when one become open to change, he makes it an effort to see how others are perceiving things differently from him and understand why are they doing things the way they are. because of the fact that he make it a pt to understand, he can see why his way of thinking is not the best or why there can never be a best/perfect way.



i really hope that i will not continue to have this perfectionist mindset but a spirit of excellence.one that is open to change and receptive to others.i have been having this perfectionist mindset for as long as i can rem.
