Perfection vs Clarity

Based on what I'm seeing in my research and workshops, I’m learning that many times stress is generated around expectations we put on ourselves or others to be perfect. And what is perfect anyway? Just like balance and stress, perfection means different things to different people, so what is or feels “perfect” to you might not feel or be perfect to your partner, boss, family, friends and so on. When you shift the focus on being or getting clear around expectations, the intensity in driving for or obtaining perfection dilutes and the power of perfection is diminished. This is so because the conversation has moved from the abstract (perfection) to reality (clarity) and magically the level of stress begins to melt away.  How is your need for perfection showing up in your life?
