Perfectionism is the enemy of happiness. Embrace being perfectly imperfect. Learn from your mistakes and forgive yourself, you’ll be happier. We make mistakes because we are imperfect. Learn from your mistakes, forgive yourself, and keep moving forward.

About This Quote

Perfectionism is the enemy of happiness. It causes us to feel constantly bad about ourselves. Perfectionism makes us unhappy. Perfectionists tend to worry constantly about what others think of them.

Perfectionists are constantly looking for ways to improve their lives, but they never stop to enjoy what they already have. They live in fear of making mistakes and always think that if they just work harder or do things better, everything will be fine. They waste endless amounts of time trying to be perfect, but they never learn that imperfect people can achieve amazing things.
