I want to get selected in ‘all’ the jobs I apply for.

I want to win ‘every’ competition I participate in.

I want to become a millionaire ‘as soon as’ I start working.

Sounds unrealistic ? Isn’t it ?

Perfection makes us set unrealistic high standards for ourselves and the pressure to achieve them leads to stress, anxiety and depression.

The mindset that I would do the job only when I am perfect in it, does not let the person start.

But why do people aim for perfection ?

Because of fear ?

Yes, fear

Fear of failure, fear of making mistakes, being bad at the job makes them aim for perfection. 

The thought process is to start after becoming perfect, this way there is no room for failure. But the pressure of meeting high standards does not let them start.

What is the solution for this ?

Nobody becomes successful overnight, consistently showing up makes you successful. 

Think this way,

What’s the worst that can happen if you start, you will fail, that’s it. When you fail only then, you will know what to do and what not to do.

Even kids learn to walk by falling multiple times, because that’s the procedure of learning and becoming better. 

“To reach somewhere you need to start”.

So don’t wait for perfection, just START.
