Why You Need to Stop Trying to Be Perfect

One of the reasons it's so hard to forgive ourselves is because we have unrealistic expectations.

We think we need to be perfect. We think we need to avoid making mistakes,

to always have it together. But the truth is, perfection is a lie.

Perfection doesn't exist. And when we hold ourselves to impossible standards,

we only set ourselves up for failure and disappointment. We need to embrace imperfection.

We need to embrace our flaws, our mistakes, and our shortcomings as part of our journey.

Perfection isn't what makes you great; it's your ability to learn, to grow,

to rise after you fall. Your journey is about progress, not perfection.
