I am working to overcome this and get rid of the voice that says "try harder" about everything all the time. Our best is best.

I stopped by to check out your Corner View from last week and to thank you for your kind and encouraging comments about my cards - and I found this. I too struggle with perfectionism - particularly around my creative endeavours. Some times I'm OK but recently I have had a real 'dark night of the soul over my various creative endeavours (classical singing, Eliza's Dream and my writing) - none of them are good enough for my Perfectionism Gremlin and I've been badly tempted to give up and return to the 'real world'. Thank you for sharing this post - and well done you for conquering your Perfectionism Gremlin karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01913788651757705958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213171310330115563.post-8277613983593762242014-03-03T09:40:49.684-08:002014-03-03T09:40:49.684-08:00I too am a recovering perfectionist.

I still struggle with it, but now I recognize the problem and am able to deal with it successfully most of the time.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213171310330115563.post-62217971596444801272014-02-28T17:00:21.261-08:002014-02-28T17:00:21.261-08:00I'm definitely learning this as well, day by ...I'm definitely learning this as well, day by day.A Place to Residehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14039003410869195300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213171310330115563.post-10774225779290841362014-02-28T13:40:40.933-08:002014-02-28T13:40:40.933-08:00I struggle with that too.

I am so proud of you.<br /><br />Nothing compared to how proud you must be, of yourself! Yes! I say we should be proud of all our accomplishments. It is not being "self-puffed-up". We deserve it! <br /><br />Plus, it gives us a push, to accomplish the next thing. Because as you say, none of us is perfect. But we often can find some aspect of our personality, which could use a bit of concentration. :-)<br /><br />Gentle hugs,<br />Tessa~Tessa~ Here there be musinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661988938395877761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213171310330115563.post-57409782971200120902014-02-28T05:18:47.107-08:002014-02-28T05:18:47.107-08:00I found myself nodding in agreement as I read each...I found myself nodding in agreement as I read each word of your post.
