Re: Overcoming Perfectionism.

IMO, the best way to overcome obsession with the need to be "perfect", is to understand the real meaning of the word. For a long time the world thinks of perfect as the impossible carrot dangling forever in front of you; the hamster running in his little wheel. "Perfect" actually means: "whole" or "complete". It gives it a whole new perspective to the words: "Be ye therefore perfect".

Re: Overcoming Perfectionism.

Serious issue for Los Mormones…

I suspect this is the root of many TBM initiated divorces, but of course the GAs are silent on this.
