Perfection is not success.
Success is achieving what you set out to do

Success is achieving what you set out to do
The key to curing perfectionism is to get better at goal setting. Yes, a paradox. Perfectionists fail at goal-setting so they don't know when they have reached the goal.
- To succeed on those terms, you have to know what you set out to do.
- That's the secret: Perfectionism comes from an imperfect start.
- There are two questions to ask yourself before you start:
- What am I setting out to do?
- How will I know when I am finished?

- The trouble with being perfect
- Perfectionists: try judicious imperfectionism.
- Not imperfectionism everywhere. After all:

- But there are lots of pretty good golfers.
- If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
- If you are perfect, there is nowhere to go but down.
- Of course you could do it better next year--you will be smarter then.
- Imperfectionists put their mistakes right out in front of God and everybody.
- Perfectionists hide their mistakes. And often hide their successes, too
- If people learn from their mistakes, how do people who don't make mistakes learn?
- Imperfectionists show that they sometimes get it wrong.. Just like the rest of us.
- Perfectionism is the enemy of action.
