Chapter 4 :Art of perfectionism


"Perfectionism is the enemy of progress."-Winston S Churchhill.


☆ Perfectionism is the pursuit of excellence and flawlessness in any task given to you. 

Personally, I have been a perfectionist ever since I was a child. I try to make everything around me perfect. When I write an assignment or a draw picture even the tiniest mistakes affect me and make me redo it. I considered it as a motivation to set my standards high but as time passed by I realised that, it is not true. Instead of moving on from the mistake and have a progress, it made me stay there and correct it until it's perfect. That put in a lot of pressure and it started destroying my joy of progressing. Now, I do my tasks correctly and on time but at the same time, I started accepting that everything in life cannot be perfect or flawless. Same with the people around you, Nobody can be perfect.


Everybody at some point of their lives try to perfect themselves too much, not being satisfied with themselves or their actions. We need to understand that life is much beyond that and destroying your happiness in order to be flawless is not worth it. Humans are not meant to be perfect, that's a fact and that's the reality.

It doesn't mean that you shouldn't be dedicated. You must have immense amount of dedication in order succeed in life. You must do all your tasks and give your best to it. You just shouldn't try to perfect yourself beyond a limit which would only end up being a mess. Your happiness lies in your hands, protect it and take care of it.

So, when used in the right way, the art of perfectionism is a boon and if not, it's a bane. Don't be a perfectionist but a dedicated human being. :)

Chapter 1: Embracing Self Awareness

Let me begin my first blog with a quote, " Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom"- Aristotle I am Alena, I am a normal girl with ordinary talents. If that is the way I introduce myself, what makes me different and what makes me unique?  Most of the people including myself, become insecure and shy away from challenges life has in store because of not being self-aware of their potential. Self awareness plays a major role in personal growth and well being of a person. We need to understand and keep track of our strengths and weaknesses. Our strength could end up turning into our weakness and our weakness could end up being our strength later. An example from my life: In school, I had a hard time making friends which I considered as a flaw, In college I don't find that as an issue which ends up being my strength. I remember starting a personal diary to jot down my emotions and instead of writing what I truly felt, I wrote as if somebody would read it. That is not th...

Book review - Red Verses.

This is a personal book review of Red Verses by Pearlina Gracelyn. Pearlina is my best friend, but did I truly know how deep her thoughts ran? No. While reading this book, it felt as if I was not just turning the pages but unveiling the chapters of her life. It’s raw, real, and straight from her heart, something you can feel with every word. The words are beautifully yet simply crafted, resonating deeply with the reader. This is not just a collection of poems but an outpouring of emotions printed onto paper. I could sense how much courage and vulnerability it must have taken for her to write these pieces, and that makes the book even more profound. I don’t know if it was mere coincidence, but I truly loved how the poem "My Wedding Day" ended with the verse "As husband and wife." That single line, placed on a separate page, made it so much more impactful. The simplicity of dedicating one page to such a significant line brought out the true essence of the poem’s subje...
