Is Perfectionism A Myth?????
12 Aug 2021
When life
takes us by surprise we find ourselves struggling…..
We become
clueless, anxious and unprepared as to how to go about things.
Why does this
happen????????
Do you think
it’s because we are programmed to be right all the time, from a young age??
Are we
expected to take the right decision every single time??
Can we accept
when our decisions go wrong??
Now, let’s understand this better….
In a bid to
take a decision we may make some right and some wrong ones.
It’s good if our decision was right but what if we
have taken a wrong decision, and realizing that we have made a mistake may take
time. By the time we understand and process the situation, for sure we may have
proceeded further on that path for quite some time.
Transition
from being wrong to right may be a challenging one too.
But don’t we waste a lot of time worrying about the
mistakes we have already made and the ones which we might make in the future?
This happens because we want everything right, the
very first time. And PERFECTIONISM or
being a PERFECTIONIST makes us the
greatest critic of our own work and once worry sets in, failing to be right
will surely impact our decision making skills further. It can leave us even
more disappointed with ourselves.
What we need
to understand is that there is nothing called an “Error Free Life”. We
need to learn and teach our children to accept mistakes gracefully and that
things can get better overtime only by learning from our mistakes and not
repeating them.
Don’t you
think being inclined to look for solutions however help us figure out the next
step with clarity??
All we need is to accept the situation we are in and use
a solution orientated mindset, and creative ways to work on it. Willingness to
experiment, perseverance and giving enough time to solve the problem will only give
us space to work on the issue and recover from any kind of situation.
For best
outcome and mental health, we need to inculcate SOLUTION ORIENTATION rather
than of PERFECTIONISM...
Only because “PERFECTION
IS A MYTH”......
So, what are
we inculcating in our children or the next generation???
Perfectionism
or Solution Orientation??

60% Trainers do not have enough job in hand.
77% Corporates find it difficult to reach to the right Trainers.
Not because of lack of Trainers. But, for the lack of connect in the market.
