Perfectionism

IMG_0138 One way to go through life is, you compare reality to some standard, only focus on the mistakes and have pass/fail grading criteria. You pass only when it is all perfect, or it is a constant failure.

Another way, you compare reality to a vision, focus on the full picture – both what’s there and what’s missing, and grade yourself accordingly – as a percentage.

In the former you can very quickly render yourself catatonic, while in the other you can focus on just the next missing thing.

Edit: there are more variations :) IMG_0163 One in which you go and change the “standard”, another where there is no standard, you just accept things as they are.
