Perfectionists aren't balanced people, and that's okay, Katherine Morgan Schafler says.
Intense perfectionists are effortlessly direct and maintain razor sharp focus when it comes to achieving their goals. Left unchecked, their standards can go from high to impossible, and they can be punitive with others and themselves for not meeting their standards.Classic perfectionists are highly reliable, consistent and detail-oriented, and they add stability to their environment.
Perfectionists are powerful, intelligent people who recognize that everything can't work out perfectly all the time. What they sometimes have trouble with is understanding why they feel so compelled to endlessly strive, or why they can't just enjoy relaxing"like a normal person." Perfectionism is a power, and like any power, it can be harnessed constructively. If you recognize yourself in the perfectionist profiles above, consider exploring your perfectionism. It may surprise you how much power you have.Katherine Morgan Schafler
