‘Mother is of the highest respect’, said by Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar - And we too believe on the fact

‘A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take’ - Cardinal Mermillod.

Ma – what is the first feeling you get when you hear this word?

An ever smiling lady wrapped in her beautiful aura of love and grace. Epitome of benevolence & emotions, she is selfless, considerate and she is our world. She’s the first person you learn from, and most probably the last one to express so.

In a classic poem by William Ross Wallace entitled ‘What Rules the World’, he quoted that ‘the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world’. It says all about the role a mother plays for her child and in the long run to their future. Mother strives to nurture her child and shape them towards becoming a contributing member of the society in turn making the world a much better place to live.

‘Ma is a title in herself – Just above the Queen’

The word Ma for a child is a complete world in itself. She is the person from whom we learn our initials right from the moment we get our existence. She’s who gave us the sense of deciding what's good or bad, she taught us lessons, gave lifetime of experiences and made us what we are today.  This very moment is so nostalgic while we are thinking of her – our Mother.

Now think, we are all grown up, busy in our lives, have certain responsibilities on our part and we are all running after time and tides to fulfil the duties life has laid upon us. In all of this, our mother, she has lost that space. She is there with us, for the luckiest ones, but are we actually acknowledging her importance and presence in our life? Do we take our chances to tell her, what she means to us?

Manushi Chhillar, winner of renowned International beauty pageant Miss World 2017, recently described importance of mother in a few simple words. When asked, ‘which profession deserves the highest salary and why?’ Manushi in her winning answer brightly responded ‘I think a mother deserves the highest respect. When you talk about salary, it’s not just about cash, but I feel it’s about the love and respect you give to someone. My mom has always been the biggest inspiration in my life and all the mothers they just sacrifice so much for their kids. So the profession that deserves the highest salary, the highest respect and love should be of a Mother’.

True! Isn’t it?

We know it and we dearly love our Mumma’s for everything they are. But honestly, are we acknowledging it? Unlike Manushi Chhillar, who took to an International platform to recognise and appreciate the Mothers, are we even doing it personally? Ask yourself?

Kudos to those who got a yes in the response. You may have no idea how a simple hug or even ‘thanks Ma’ would have meant to the lady who sacrificed her endless nights to comfort you and gave you the world she had to offer. And for those, who feel they could have done it a little more to make her feel any happy, there is still time. She is still there. Do it, before she is no more around to listen to you or even ask if you had your meals on time.

We won’t get into exotic ideas and expensive gifts zone to please your mother, but a few small gestures, that would surely bring a smile on her wrinkled face (don’t say that to her as beauty is the best friend for a lady, so let her enjoy the aging changes).

Reaction alert: For all the readers having cool minded mothers are likely to get in response a question ‘are you drunk today?’, super cool moms can even ask if ‘you need a slap to come back to your senses’ and for the sentimental Mumma’s could even treat you with your favourite ‘halwa’ or improve your social mentions in her circle. Smile, no matter how she is, she will love you for every little bit you do for her.

Acknowledge & Appreciate:

You may have no idea of how you were raised and what sacrifices she may have made for you to become what you are today. She was just like you just a few years back but today she is you mom and a lady who is sitting back at home expecting a call from you. Think of it, she has genuinely given years to you and your family. Please acknowledge it. If it’s very sudden to say it all to her, start with small acknowledgements. Appreciate your dinner today and if you live away from her, she is just a call away. Tell her you miss her or the special food she made for you. Appreciate an old picture or acknowledge how she collected all yours since you grew up this very mature and self. Our idea is to acknowledge her actions and appreciate little things she does for you, knowingly or unknowingly. Just say it!

Father should be role model

Now this is a hypothetical action. Start from looking at your father. With increasing cases of domestic abuses, there are also cases where a man is taking care of his family and letting their ladies fulfil their dreams. And there are those heroic Papa’s who still prepare bed tea for their wife before leaving for office and take them for a walk after dinner. They will keep their after-meal plates for washing and also take care of dropping kids to school. Take a look into your case, if there is any sign of abuse, take it up in your hands and resolve it at the earliest. You owe your very existence to the lady and she deserves a happy life. In case your fathers are on the other side of the story, learn from them. The man who teats his wife like a princess, is born from a queen. Take a note and idolise him for his gestures and respect towards the lady of his life. Never forget, a woman deserves all the respect for she is the ultimate creator and the magic of life lies in her heart.

Little gestures matter big time

Just as we discussed above, we need to learn from the small gestures our fathers do for supporting their lady. Ensure that you are doing that as well. In fact do better with your vibrant ideas and young approach towards life. Before you look for how can you be a little help or do something to please her, make sure you don’t get very obvious with her ending up guessing it before you into even doing it.

Start with appreciating their presence in your life. You might often feel irritated by their queries, or their constant calls might just be too bugging. Trust us, someday you will miss getting a call from ‘Mom’ & even ‘Dad’. Before its too late, accept that we have given them a tougher time growing up, then they are being a problem to you.

If you have watched the movie ‘Jane tu ya Jane na’, i will never ask you to behave like Meghna and go asking ‘what’s that’. But on a positive note, learn from her to appreciate that your parents have been like they are and we must not always take it all seriously. Life is all about how we take it. Smile and take it easy. This will be your biggest contribution towards your mom to accept her life as cheerfully with your support.

Coming back to the gestures, she is not a maid and definitely not a robot.

•  It’s high time you start doing your own chores, like washing clothes or even putting away your after-meal utensils.
• She might just appreciate a bed tea or an evening foot massage. You might be an awesome cook, why don’t you let her give you some master-chef tips from her kitchen experiences, today itself?
• You may have a tight schedule, but as you can make time for friends, your mom won’t even demand a movie treat but a small talk. If you are with her, go share your day’s activities with her and she might accidentally give you some really good ideas to sort an issue. If not, you will still feel better. And for her, by now she would have got her share of time with you. If not living with her, give her a call. You might want to ask her how her day was or she might wish to share some gossip she would otherwise just skip. Make time for her and listen to what she has to say.
• Never forget those small things you might incidentally come across, she needs in her kitchen or an office accessory she mentioned of losing on her way home. Get those for her. She will appreciate that you remembered.
• Even she would like to go out. There will be families who go out occasionally. You can break the ice and start taking her out for a walk or to purchase a shirt/kurti. She will be very happy becoming a part of your day or your activities. Movie breaks or even a coffee date won’t be that bad idea. She might just relive an old memory.
• Don’t forget to appreciate her small gestures and specially, for the food she has cooked for you with love or how beautiful she looked while getting ready for a friend’s house warming party.
• Every person is initially a child at heart. Bring out the child in her, find what activates her childish attributes and enjoy doing those activities with her. She might reconsider smiling a little more. She will be intrigued with your gesture.

Explore the hidden her in your Mother

Bring out the hidden her and explore who she was. As we already discussed that she has made sacrifices at certain level in life or left something she would have loved doing. It’s the perfect time to find out the real her and who she used to be. You may have heard her speak of her young days many times, but this one time, speak with her, again. Make her speak out her aspirations, dreams, wishes and expectations. You never know you might still be able to make true something she might not even think of doing again.

Say for instance, your mom loved to paint. She still is an artist. Gift her canvas and some colors. You will love the way her hands will make colors speak their story. Get a diary and an ink pen for the mother who was or is still a poet at heart. Ink pen in specific because our parents still love the grace of writing with the Ink pens. Her poems might just give you an insight in life they have experienced or a lesson for you to sort your life if ever you are stuck at something. You will see a new light in their eyes when they are re-exploring their hobbies or living up their dream.

A child gets prize, father gets promotion and she only expects your love

No wonder our mom’s are the only person who will understand us in any situation. As per a famous saying, when you reach home after work, your partner will ask how your day was, your child will ask if you got them their candy and your father will ask if you could attend the professional issues. Only your mother will look at the drenched and tired child and approach them with a towel and warm soup asking if you had your meals? That’s the difference where mothers are beyond comparison. As a child, you get prizes at school, as an employee promotion is the appreciation but a mother only seeks love and acceptance from their children. Unlike others, she will never demand your time, money or gifts. But a little more than sufficient time in your daily schedule and small gifts to say that ‘Ma I love you’ is enough to make our dear-most lady smile from the chore of her heart.

We have tried these tricks personally, and that is where our inspirations come from. Go ahead, take your pick and see where you can make your lady smile today and forever.

Celebrate Future of India this Children’s Day

 ‘Children are like buds in a garden; and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they are future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow’ – Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru

At ten, we would be secretly reading fairy tales and be ashamed of letting others know of it. Now that we are beyond the adolescent age, we’d read them openly. At our age, we put away childish things, including the fear of immaturity and the desire to be grown up. Childhood is the golden time when we seldom think of the future. And memories of childhood are like a dream that stays even after waking up.

Children’s day is the perfect time to recall & rejoice the wishes that came true and dreams that gave us wings, to fly & be here today. Young minds are assets to the nation and hope for a bright future. Let us come together this year and solemnly promise to inculcate, in our young generation, the true moral values; and impart education that helps one excel in life and not just academics.

Youth is the decisive phase of our life and every person deserves understanding it, through the eyes of those who have seen it better. Life gives us many chances to learn but what we have grasped in our early days of life is what that has framed us and our personality.

 ‘Values and knowledge are not what we get in books but what life has taught us’.

Young minds play a crucial role in success and development of a nation, as they are going to bring either a positive or a negative change in our country.  It is our duty to polish the raw minds to enshrine and reflect the grace of a compassionate society, the way we were nurtured until here. 

Today’s youth, if rightly guided, will not just excel in their capabilities but also make a better tomorrow for everyone around them. This little of every single person makes the society a better place to live in. Awareness of people towards the rights, care, and education of children is important. And this children’s day is a crucial time to accept our role in framing the society and take forward a step by celebrating this day with a motive. This little can be expected of every single person. Working on young minds may not be an easy task. But a little effort will be worth it someday. Until then, be the child with a child; enjoy the purity of your soul and let freely fly the mischievous child in you.

‘Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up’ - Pablo Picasso

Bring out the little one, hidden somewhere within you and celebrate this children’s day. Celebrate the day of the adorable souls! Laugh with them, and ensure their involvement in your bad days only to make them value the good times and of family, relationships, love, and humanity. Make time for children; instil in them, the respect which starts from within the home. Day-care & school can never give the values & virtues of Humanity that parents can inculcate within the child. Don’t make comparisons, but bring out the best in your child. 

‘A child can always teach, an adult, three things. To be happy with no reason, to always be busy with something and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires’ – Paulo Coelho.

India’s first Prime Minister, also known as, Chacha Nehru, was quite fond of the young ones and truly believed in the innocence and righteous care, childhood revolves around. Therefore, every year India observes his birth anniversary, November 14^th, as Children’s day. Students organise various cultural programmes and performances in their schools and colleges as an enthusiastic feast to the day. Let’s learn from the innocent brains and celebrate India’s bright future with a pledge to safeguard the innocence and uphold their rights. Celebrate this children’s day not just as a celebration of childhood but a toast to the tender innocence of a pure soul.

Willpower - Overrated as ‘the key to success’

What is Willpower? How do we define it?

Willpower can be described as a strong determination that allows you to achieve something, and stay stick to the desire, no matter how difficult the path is. A strong willpower also helps us calmly deal with delays in achievements. Let’s put a good example here to explain willpower better; we, as employees or workers in an organization always get up early in the morning, regardless of how tiring the previous day was. Why? Because our willpower constantly encourages us to avoid getting late or taking a leave at office as it might have negative impact to our productivity.

In today’s era, willpower has become an essential component for success, but has it always been this way?

No. If we go back to the history, people didn’t require willpower,   they used to follow their general instincts to survive and succeed. But with the evolving time, we humans have set lot of rules and boundaries for self and for others to get things in order. Each one of us is rushing to leave behind every other person in the race of competition. And we are hardwired with the belief system that we only will achieve success if we will follow these set rules and regulations.

As per the recent study and an experiment, where students were asked to have the marshmallow right away or wait for 20 minutes and then eat to get extra reward. The study showed that the students who waited for 20 minutes to get the double reward are fared better in later life, than those who ate the marshmallow instantly.

So, it proves that yes, Willpower is important to succeed and people are emphasizing more on strengthening the willpower in today’s era.

Even most of the organizations organize special trainings for their employees to help them strengthen their willpower.

But there are few things which sometimes overpower the willpower and should not be overlooked while traversing the terrain towards your goal. Those few things are; our previous failures which often leave us in discouraged state of mind, our physical health which keeps us drained every day and does not allow us to begin the day with right motivation and courage, and our emotions; low emotions often reduce our motivation level.

Something just popped up in your mind and said that yes, it happens and you have experienced it many times, right? We know it, it happens; and these reasons get overlooked until and unless we face them in our lives. Even if you have unlimited will power, it has its limits, when you face the above mentioned reasons which often holds you back to get up and continue the race. Besides will power, your mental, emotional and physical power play major role. For eg. When you resist getting into an argument which makes no sense to you, it is the emotional and mental power that helps you resist more than the will power.  When you go to the meeting and use various tactics to crack it, it is your mental power. For petty most tasks like the craving for our favourite food or a dress we wish to purchase, we have all the will but our emotional and mental power stops us for varied reasons like health or finance issues respectively. Hence, Willpower is a limited resource, and the other components of success should be at work at times when your willpower starts depleting.

Get success with limited Willpower

Now, when you are aware that willpower is a limited resource, and there are other key components to achieve success, like a plan, a systematic approach; put the plan and systematic approach first and then compliment it with Willpower. Here, with systematic approach, I am also trying to encourage you to create the right environment, right conditions, right set of mind along with right guidance and planning that assure your success. If you will successfully develop a plan, a right environment, right resources; then willpower will act as an added advantage to help you get success.

1. Get in the company of like-minded people who have are experience and who can guide you towards the path of your goal
2. Stay happy and get out of all the emotional dilemmas which may become an hindrance to your success
3. Set right resources for you, the right strategy, systematic plan to achieve your goal
4. Replace your old beliefs and old conditioning of mind – if you have failed earlier, it doesn’t mean you will fail again. Failures are just a stepping stone to success. So, let go of the regrets, rather, use the past mistakes as learning and go for it again. Success will be yours!

Remember, you are reading this article because you have an aim, you have the dream, you have the patience, you are getting right guidance, and you have the will to achieve success. All you need is to work on the above mentioned aeas now to get success in each sphere of life. Good Luck!

Attitude is the altitude of Life – Light it up

To light a candle is to enlighten the darkness. Inner fire is the most important element we human-kind possess. Just that the spark is lying deep asleep, somewhere within us. Deepawali, being the auspicious festival of lights, is the perfect time to rekindle the fire, hope and faith within us and celebrate triumph over darkness. Human life is an interesting journey through peaks and valleys. The high and lows, twists and unexpected turns will put us on tests, to pass through this beautiful journey. Individuals’ inspirations and aspirations, in such situations, help them get up and go higher. Because, how the journey ends, lies in our own hands and what matters the most is how substantial our journey progressed. Illuminated by the fire within, there is indefinite light inside us. Hope is our positive approach and apt attitude to utilise the zest of Life. Despite all the darkness, faith helps you maintain the altitude of your aspirations. This faith is like the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark. Keeping your beliefs firm, look for your light and let fly! Dawn is near!

Be willing - Socialise and maintain healthy accords. Positivity starts from living a luminous life; free of ego, hurt, despair and grievances. When troubled we often tend to not get too close to people, for, at that time we get negative and feel darkness inside us. Human relationships are strange. In reality, we all have this dark side in us that comes out only when things are not right and we can’t see the light of hope reaching out to us. Our attitude at that particular time determines how we are judged in the society and as a person. Maneuvering other people, in their time of need and odd-most situations, is another dimension, a person is judged for, their giving back approach towards life. Who wouldn’t want to stand out as an exuberant personality? 

Believe in you! And radiate your positive attitude... 

Live a life without limitations! Every time you fall down, you will learn something new. Take your notes and get ready for the next one. Don’t let your mind, sway away in the chaos and hamper the choices that you are making. Because these choices shape your future course of actions and once you’ve given up, there is no hope. You will only win if you don’t give up. Make choices, design a path for you, take wrong turns, mark the faulty ways, learn from the failures and go ahead. Just don’t stop. Don’t let anything hold you back.

Tough situations and blockades often hinder from reaching the desired destination. There are moments when we are demotivated to the chores and giving up seems to be the only viable option. But just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean a way-out isn’t present. The light in you, will show you the way, you just have to re-kindle the spark and look out.

No goal is too big and no dream is too far- fetched

Learn & excel in the art of Life and positive approach to ‘Live’ the same. Don’t just spend the life in wait of right time to change our attitude and make things work. Get up and inspire yourself. Find your strength, stand for your purpose and encourage others to go positive and make our existence, worth it. 

Life is Unpredictable. Willing or not, we have to take what comes our way. We are all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it! Why hide when we can enjoy the madness. This Deepawali burst the box of ego and misunderstandings and light the ‘Diyas’ of hope and faith. Enjoy the ‘you’ in yourself and let others appreciate your uniqueness. If you can feel, you are not alone, then light it up and let it go. This Deepawali lets pledge to accept the challenges gracefully, enlighten ourselves over the darkness and take higher the spirits of life. Let’s shine and have a blast – with or without crackers!

Diwali: A festival that dispels our inner darkness and rekindles our hopes

"Diwali" originated from a Sanskrit word (Deepawali) which means “a row of lights. The festival unites all the religions together and signifies the triumph of light over darkness in all religions. The festival even marks the beginning of a new year for most of the Hindus. The festival historically symbolizes the triumph of Good over evil where all the people coming from different religions has some history behind which ultimately gives us one common lesson, that “Evil can never stand in front of good for long and has to end after a level

Thus, people celebrate this victory by lighting Diya, lamps, feast with friends and families, etc. Goddess Lakshmi is another universal factor which binds the people of all religions globally, hence people keeps their homes clean and decorated with lights, brighten lamps to welcome Goddess Lakshmi in their home and for happiness and prosperity. Goddess Lakshmi, who is known as the goddess of wealth is worshiped on this day where people ask her for assistance In harvesting and expanding spiritual abundance, such as emotions of forgiveness, compassion for others, kindness, love, etc.

Diwali is also a time when we attempt to relight the lamps of true wisdom in our hearts and mind, which help us disperse the forces of darkness and negative emotions within us and allow our inner goodness and brilliance shine forth. 

Diwali is a not only an occasion to celebrate with lights and love, but also an opportunity to keep awakening the inner beauty while evaluating your negative emotion and eliminate them to let the inner light rejoice within and begin the internal  transformation for a better soul and a better life. Moreover, it is an occasion to discover and rekindle the sense of love, respect, kindness, skillfulness towards others and shine our beautiful light out into the world.

Most importantly, just like the flame of lamps which points upward always, Diwali is a time to let the worries of last year flow out and appreciate the things you have while setting a goal for coming year with a renewed spirit and passion. On this context, it reminds the words of Mahatma Gandhi, Diwali is an opportunity and a reminder to “be the change you want to see in the world”.

On this auspicious occasion, AK Mishra’s Art of Success wishes everyone a very Happy and prosperous Diwali and a very all the best to shine out loud your inner light into the world with great passion and renewed sense of spirit.

Why do we get stuck in life? 3 ways to get out of it

Many a times in life, we get stuck in such circumstances where we unable to think beyond our present dilemmas. These circumstances and our reactions to them determine our feelings. Have you ever found yourself lost, confused, completely stuck and drowning in mud? You want to move out of the situation but you are unable to. And then it further arise fear, anxiety and even depression.

But what if you get to know that being stuck, or the situation is not actually a problem, but the problem indeed lies in how we perceive the situation. Being stuck is a label that we often give to a feeling, and then we start believing and accept this label for a longer period of time. We encounter such moments in life when nothing works, all are plans go up in smoke; and that is where the feeling of anxiety arises and we call it being stuck.

Courtesy: AK Mishra Library

Now the question is why do we stuck

You feel stuck when your life takes entirely different path than you ever thought or planned of. You feel stuck when you fail to be at the place where you wanted to be. Now, why does it happen? Does life really want to give us some sad moments? Is life really too harsh on us? No! Relax. Surrender at the moment. Keep quiet for a while. Sometimes, some moments cannot be controlled by you, so at that moment all you can do is calm yourself, and notice what life brings to you. Being stuck is like quicksand. The more you try to get out, the deeper you sink. So stop trying to get out, just surrender!

Your mind would want to control, push and manipulate, because we human get insecure, want to be loved and remarkable; and that’s very normal, human tendency. But you can rather do better things in this situation to let the universe work for you to bring you out of the storm. Here are three things to do: 

Surrender

When you feel yourself stuck, give up and surrender yourself to the situation. Notice the feeling inside you and say it loud ‘I am stuck, and something is going wrong’. And then take a deep breath. You’ll realize that actually that’s a label you have given to the particular situation or a feeling. You are not stuck; you are actually getting ready to explore a newer path. I understand that by surrendering, the feeling of anxiety will not vanish away, but you’ll realize that you will not have that grip on you anymore that holds you back.

Surrender and be open to accept whatever comes; do this when everything actually goes out of control and you feel that now nothing can happen from you end. Enjoy being stuck; it’s a part of a learning process; just in case if you will not get anything out of the situation, you will get a learning for sure. The most interesting fact is, when you’ll start enjoying being stuck, you will not be stuck anymore; because being stuck was all in your head only.

Enjoy the moment

The first step is to surrender. So when you have surrendered, stop thinking about that area of your life too much; pay your attention to other things. Do what you love to do the most; whether it’s dancing, music, painting, hanging around, go for a movie, go for a walk or anything that gives you peace and sense of joy; may be meditation too. Remember, you are not stuck in every area of your life; it’s just a part of life in which you are stuck and that too for a small period of time that will pass on. I acknowledge, it’s not easy to stop that feeling anxious during the hours of sorrows, but maybe that’s how you’ll explore something better in you; because when your mind is at peace; it works well. Do what you can, but go easy on yourself.

Write

At times, when you feel stuck, try writing!

You don’t need a system in front of you. Just get a piece of paper and start writing. Or it’s completely your choice; write wherever you want. The motive is to throw out all nasty bits. Write down everything going on in your mind at that moment, no censoring, and no holding back.

The more you do this, the more you feel your thoughts changing and transforming. Become aware of what is going in your head, and then slowly let go, because by keeping it inside, you are only creating your own sufferings.

You need to understand, that sometimes, pushing is not required, all you need is to have faith in the universe and let the things get arranged for you; not the way you wanted, but may be the way universe wants to give to you.

Let things be; at the end, everything is going to make perfect sense!

You’re a Perfectionist, but that’s not a good news

PERFECTIONISM

noun

1.    refusal to accept any standard short of perfection.

While the idea of perfectionism might sound to come from a superior being, it has secretly become the elastic obstacle that keeps you down. Perfectionism, in its essential sense, is an unreasonable storm to get everything absolutely right. This makes it difficult, for all of us, to ultimately produce anything to start with.

Our sickness of perfectionism stretches our world of noble visions and mediocre reality, so far wide and open, that pursuing anything with a pinch of error feels like a sin. Our sense of perfectionism doesn’t just lie in our love lives, but at all our curved corners. Our problems do not ultimately arise as lie in our reckless tendencies to under-budget for the difficulties of achieving it.

The right target for our self-criticism is our premature perfectionism, which in no sense is useful to us as a species. Our accurate allowance for time and effort is dependent on a proper grasp of the inherent difficulty of any task. If we fully recognize something to be exceptionally difficult, we don’t panic with our first attempts going in vain. We also don’t mind if our first efforts are weak, or if the progress is slow. It’s difficult, but that’s something we already knew. Lofty standards only become a problem when we think that something might and should be substantially easier than it turns out to be. But, this is rarely the case. When we study our own struggles as the signs of our shortcomings rather than as an inevitable part of a long journey called success. For, success is not a destination, but a lengthy process in which you struggle, improve and conquer your shortcomings.

Perfectionism is a problem only if we’re not ready to struggle. On the contrast, the perfectionism can very well slide in, if one is willing to struggle and improve on his mistakes over an extended period. We should realise that our great ambitions and over expectations to achieve them in a very little time are the biggest curse. For say, when we imagine writing a good novel in next couple of months, or have enough bank balance to retire by the age of thirty, or have worked the problems of marriage in its entirety—we inescapably fail—fall flat on our face.

Our perfectionism starts to affect us when we ignore on how hard others had worked to become something we all can aspire to be. We ignore their sufferings before they realized their ideas of perfection.

In a better world, its society’s culture would endlessly draw attention to the first drafts and hidden labors of others and properly inform us the true horrors of getting closer to perfection—doing anything that’s worth doing. We would not then be impatient sickly perfectionists, rather we would be an exploration of excellence. The problem isn’t around aiming high and achieving perfection, but it’s that we don’t have an accurately rescuing idea of what perfection really takes, whose answer, more than often, is a lot.  

What do you think of perfectionism? Comment below.
