The Dark side of perfectionism.

One might think that perfectionism might always drive any human to inevitable success, but this is quite the contrary. Excessive perfectionism is a destructive behaviour. Although it is a good practice in theory to be perfect, we need to understand that reality is far from perfect. As humans we were not meant to be perfect. We were meant to be flawed, and through these flaws we were to evolve in time to something close to perfectionism, but never be perfect at all. Just think about it. If we were to be perfect at one point of our lives, further than that point it would mean, that there would be no room for improvement, hence no reason to live longer. You must also take into consideration the fact that no matter how hard you try to perfect something, there will always be someone who will be a mile further than the point you got. Perfectionist people are rarely happy, for they are quite literally never happy with the result they get in any subject matter. They always try to make what they work on perfect, but fail to realize that, mistakes and problems will always be there.

It is mostly suggested to thrive towards excellence rather than perfectionism. The philosophy of excellence is that you try your best and are open to make mistakes, and rather than dismissing what you achieved and start over, instead you would accept it as it is, learn from the mistakes and the problems and ultimately move on.
