Trying to be perfect is the biggest waste of time, ever! Not only does it isolate you from other (imperfect) people, it also puts you in a perpetual state of frustration. Today, you need to stop going for the gold medal in everything. Start just learning how to accept yourself the way you are. Acceptance leads to peace, which will lead you to having a much better attitude about your life. Sure, it's true that things could be better -- but they could be a lot worse, too! Get perspective.
