perfectionism

Perfectionism is self-abuse of the highest order.
~ Anne Wilson Schaef

Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor,

the enemy of the people.

It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life.
~ Anne Lamott

Their are no winners. Everyone fails with this ideal, especially ourselves, although we don't realize it at the time. We're slowly killing those around us as we break their spirits. What are we running from?

Here's a great post from my friend Karen's blog, at Homespun Simplicity, about acceptance when we're not close to perfect.
