Perfection vs. Excellence

We all want to do our best and be our best but perfection and excellence are very different.

Perfectionists feel as if they cannot make a mistake and if they do they feel flawed and inferior in some way.  This is simply torture on many levels as mistakes and errors are inevitable, even for the best of us.

Excellence on the other hand, expects errors and mistakes and uses them as an opportunity to learn and improve without judgment. 

So embrace and accept real or perceived mistakes and even welcome them as ultimately positive factors.  Learning to do this as you fine tune your skills and abilities is essential, knowing there is no other way to become a master.
