Aim for Excellence, not Perfection

When you catch yourself expecting perfection,

remind yourself that it is infinitely more rewarding to do something well

than to do it perfectly because, in that way,

you can always improve on it another time.

This allows you to accept yourself while constantly striving to improve your skills

and fulfil your potential.

Above all, reward and praise yourself when you have done well.

If no one ever does that, including yourself, you will never feel valued.

Use positive affirmations and quotes from others to uplift you

and increase your determination.

Read them every day or when you are feeling negative and need inspiration.
