Sometimes I feel like a pug. Sometimes I am too hard on myself. I am a perfectionist and when I have made a mistake when I’ve tried my best, it takes over me. It’s all or nothing. It’s I’m either perfect at it, or I’m incompetent. It’s frustrating. If I make one tiny, and even meaningless mistake in work, or school, or life in general, that’s it. I’m an idiot. Well…ok so I’ll feel like this for about a day, but nevertheless, it’s there.
However, one thing we kept learning in my life course is that it is OKAY to make mistakes (sounds like common sense to somebody who already lives this). But that is what makes us human. Some people think whatever, and brush it off like nothing. Some people dwell. Some people take it as a learning opportunity. I need to start internalizing the more positive way at looking at things, because too much in the past, if I screwed up, no matter how minor, I’d think that I was never destined to do this particular thing.
