This is for the perfectionist like me. The ones who feel like they can conquer the world and fix anything. The green thumb or a magic touch of everything:
It is okay for things to not turn out as planned.
As a perfectionist, you will think that nothing should ever go wrong and when it does every now and then, it blows up in your face. The kind of blow up that hits you out of nowhere and is atrocious. It leaves you distraught and confused.
You think of how you did everything right and yet you still ended up failing in some type of way. It bothers you to the core because you are superwoman/superman and nothing should ever go wrong, but it is okay.
Life could be compared to many things but the main comparison is: highs, lows, good, bads, storms, sunshines, and you could go on and on and on.
The thing is that's what makes life, life. No matter how hard you try, nothing is ever made to be perfect. No matter how many times you "perfect" and prep for a situation, things can go still go wrong. It will continue to blow up in your face because I mean come on, us perfectionists are stubborn, but continue on.
Continuing after a small set back can be tricky, but you keep building to make things better. Us perfectionists will probably always try to do things perfectly and do better but we have to understand that not everything is going to be perfect and if things mess up they just mess up and we continue to do our thing.
We can not blame ourselves for things that go wrong or happen when we have done everything we can. We can only do so much and that's all we can do. We are still good people.
