You'll be perfect when you're dead

As I have got older, I have become easier on myself. It's about realising things can't be perfect.

I have from time to time been a double A or triple A personality. I'm not anymore. I'm more lenient on myself.

There was a time where I was such a perfectionist even if I made the kick, but that's no way to live. I can tell you what, that will drive you crazy. I'm very hard on myself, but if the ball goes in a little bit left of the middle, you're not going to hear me crying about it.

Letting yourself off the hook takes the stress away.

Everything that these folks are saying that they're trying to move away from, like comparison, perfectionism, judgement, and exhaustion as a status symbol - that all describes my life. It was more like a medical researcher studying a disease and figuring out he or she has it.

I forgive myself for not being perfect. I am living the very best way I know how.

I thought I had to be perfect. I would often make choices I thought would make everyone else happy. I lived at a pace that was "good for my career," whether it was good for me or not. I have learned how important it is to check in with myself and listen, really listen.

Loving ourselves is the miracle cure we are all looking for.

Loving myself exactly where I am is the only way to get where I'm going

I've learned to take things a little more easily, to be a little more forgiving of myself.

You have to be reasonable with yourself and not feel guilty when things aren't perfect.

I am certainly not perfect. I don't think you should try to be perfect for anyone. When you come to terms with that, then you're OK.

Certainly, we all have within us the potential to live in a hugely different way. And how happy you can make yourself, I think, a lot depends on how much you beat yourself up about that; and how much you can, in some sort of providential way, console yourself and say, 'Well, it's all worked out for the best, in the best of all possible worlds.'

I have learned to take the part of me that is very fearful and work on that. There is space for that in my life. I have learned to give myself a bit more freedom between 'action' and 'cut.' I come by all that fear honestly, like most humans have. I can't bring it with me to work, so in that way, the work feels quite liberating.

I don't have to try to be perfect at everything.

I have time to breathe, time to be myself more often, I am a lot more relaxed and less guarded.
