Question

How can I try to be less of a perfectionist?

Answer

We've seen over the years that some particular types of people really, really want to be a perfectionist. And then there are other types of people that are not so worried, being good enough is fine. And that's really the point: Being good enough is okay. We don't have to be perfect.

Yesterday I talked about being perfect and you know, to a certain extent there is no such thing unless you are a Buddha. Trying to do a good job as I mentioned yesterday, trying to do as best you can, striving to be perfect in whatever you are doing, but accepting that it's okay to be only really, really good, that can help.
