Perfectionism and failure, why they are related

It has been quite a while. Every time I think I can commit to something, I fall back and start slipping on my promises.

This piece, different from others, will not only bring you the successes and overcomes problems, but rather will bring the problem itself, when I am facing it. Maybe it is a way to show to myself that I am not perfect, maybe it is a way to share with people that there are other imperfect people around here.

It’s been more than 2 weeks since I don’t write for my newsletter. More than that time that I don’t write on my blog. And why is that? Sometimes I think it is my perfectionist side saying “I will start only when I have all the right conditions“. And guess what? Normally the stars don’t align in the precise way we want every time.

I know the recipe is just to sit down and do it. Good is better than perfect. But why is it so hard to do it in practice? I guess oftentimes we see the world as a scary place, and we don’t want to show up unless we are nothing less than perfect. Our own judgment can make us prisoners of ourselves, in our own heads.

I will not promise you I will write every week from now on, that I will miraculously pursue a change in my life. I don’t know if I can. What I can do is try to create more cues to do things that I am scared of, and share with you if this is going well or not.

Maybe from my failed experience someone will succeed! That would count as a positive point for me at least.
