We live in a world where being perfect is an accepted goal, and anything less does not measure up. We try to be perfect at our jobs, at home, and at finding ourselves.

But being perfect has a downside; it's extremely draining. We know that we shouldn't care if we are perfect or not, but the little voice inside tells us that being perfect is the only way. (It's the key to happiness.) We know that perfect is not realistic, but we also can't seem to find another way.

THE WEEKLY ACTION CHALLENGE

Stop trying to be perfect. Striving for perfection will consume your energy and waste your time. You will be less frustrated and more effective if you are realistic with yourself and other people.

This week's challenge is to replace your efforts to be perfect with something positive. First, identify one project that is being stalled by your quest for perfection. Then, set a realistic plan to complete the project, and move forward.

So, what do you say? You only have one life to live, so it might as well be a life you love!
