What All Women Need to Know now about imperfection

​Perfection is an illusion.⁠ Imperfection is beautiful
⁠
It's something I've battled with my whole life. I've always been a dreamer, a go-getter, a goal setter. I've always fought hard against living an ordinary life...which meant I never wanted to be ordinary.⁠
⁠
I wanted the 100% on every test.⁠
I wanted to master my goals and rise to the top, no matter the cost.⁠
⁠
I told myself being a workaholic would guarantee success, and success guaranteed happiness.⁠
⁠
However, in my 30s, I started to realize that you will never, ever, be perfect at everything. And sometimes, when you reach that highest goal, you'll realize that happiness comes from within not from an award or title or success.⁠
⁠
These days, I'm a little nicer to myself. I take breaks. I don't feel the need to work all the time. I don't feel the need to be perfect at my hair and makeup and fitness goals and friendships and social gatherings and work and everything else on our plates.⁠
⁠
I've realized that I need to pick and choose my priorities based on what I need at the moment. I've realized you don't have to be perfect at everything to be happy.⁠
⁠
Life is a balancing act...which isn't easy. Nothing ever is perfectly in balance. But if you let your attention be pulled in 100s of ways and if you try to achieve perfection in all things, you're going to be burned out, tired, and passionless. ⁠
⁠
Focus on what matters to you. Not to the media or the industry you're in or the world. To you. Listen to your inner voice. Be still and really listen.⁠
⁠
And then, remember that happiness is found within and from living the life you really, truly want and need.
