Catch Lightning In A Bottle?

Still expecting to Catch Lightning In A Bottle?  Not by a china man's chance, dude.  But our most common problem is the blurring between excellence and perfection.  Oh well, this is a given.  When we strive for EXCELLENCE, we set the bar, the standards high enough.  And DON'T get me wrong.  Setting high standards can encourage us to make improvements, solve problems amongst others.  On the other hand, PERFECTIONISM  is just an impossibly high standard with no room for imperfections and worse, no compassion for mistakes.  And sadly, high standards may be a stretch to achieve but they are that attainable.  They are things that we can reasonably accomplish with effort, practice and persistence.  They are things that we can reasonably accomplish with PATIENCE + PERSISTENCE📌📌📌

BUT again, you still expect to to Catch Lightning In A Bottle?  So sorry folks.  NOT to dampen your spirit BUT pursuing perfection is futile.  I just can NEVER be achieved.  And yet, perfectionists pursue impossibly high standards even when doing so negatively affects their health and even relationships with their loved ones.  Moreover, having impossibly high standards adds stress to everything you do.  It can even be demoralizing because you can never meet your impossibly high standards💎💎💎

To Catch Lightning In A Bottle may lead you to constantly feel like a failure regardless of how much you may have accomplished.  And setting impossibly high standards for others and even your family and co-workers may lead to nagging, frustration and worse, arguing negatively impacts relationships as things seem to erode till its beyond repair⏳⏳⏳

I love this funny poster but it says a lot and I can't agree less with its truism.  Now, do you still contemplate to indeed Catch Lightning In A Bottle?  Now, to further position perfectionism versus excellence.  People who strive for excellence can accept that mistakes are inevitable and value what they learn from them.  They DON'T let mistakes define them.  BUT perfectionists see mistakes as evidence of their inadequacy or inferiority.  They even expect to know everything✅✅✅
