We're not meant to be perfect. It took me a long time to learn that.
We are not meant to be perfect; we are meant to be whole
We don't need to be perfect. We're not supposed to be perfect; we're supposed to be complete. And you can't be complete if you're trying to be perfect.
Perfection is a toxic desire. We are not supposed to be perfect. The challenge is not to be perfect, it's to be whole.
The challenge is not to be perfect…it’s to be whole
I spent a good deal of time going back over my childhood, my midlife, to try to understand who I was. We're supposed to be complete and whole, and you can't be whole if you're trying to be perfect. Doing a life review helped me get over the disease to please.
This toxic striving for perfection is a female thing. How many men obsess about being perfect? For men, generally, good enough is good enough.
All my life I had believed that unless I was perfect I would not be loved.
Good enough is good enough. We're not supposed to be perfect. We're supposed to be complete.
I like being a supporting actress. I don't have to show up everyday. I was still writing the book, so it was the perfect thing. It may never be so perfect again,
