Perfectionism

John B. Marine | February 29, 2020 | | | | | | Be the first to comment!
Perfection is about being best of the best. To some people, perfection is the ONLY way to accomplish something. Some people can not live with being less than perfect. People will make mistakes. It is how people deal with perfection that make us who we are and how we deal with things when they are less than perfect. Can you live with failure? Can you live with your mistakes? Some can; others can not. So this blog post has to do with perfection.






Perfection


What is perfect? To many, perfect means you do something to where nothing can be done wrong and that it is completely foolproof. It means you have done everything to where there is no fault or dispute. It is as if no wrong can be done. While perfect is what many people want out of life, not many can live with making mistakes. Perfection can take you only so far. One can become fixated to perfection to where the thought of potential failure is out of the mindset of most people. At that point, one may have already failed if one only looks at being perfect and successful. It is this one-track mindset that defeats most people before they even endure failure. It is also important to note that what people consider perfect varies from person to person. If you look at perfection like sports, a team that finishes undefeated all the way to a championship or simply an undefeated season is perfect. A team that has never trailed in any game or season can be considered perfect.


Being a Perfectionist.

Most people can't live with making mistakes or being seen as a mistake. So a perfectionist tries to make the most of everything to where there are no faults whatsoever. Everything has to be done in a way to where few or no mistakes are present. Things that are perfect have no faults of any kind. To accomplish this, one has to focus on trying not to fail. Sometimes, someone may be nearing perfection without even knowing or acknowledging it. As another sports example, a Perfect Game in baseball or softball is where a pitcher records Outs against all of the opposing batters without issuing a walk (or base on balls). If a Walk is issued in a Perfect Game attempt, the Perfect Game ends and is now playing for a No-Hitter. Perfection and perfection attempts come in many forms and entail a number of factors.

Alright- I will admit. I am a perfectionist myself. I focus too much on trying to make everything as perfect as possible, or I feel under pressure to make sure everything is done properly. Even I have made countless mistakes that I am either aware of or may not be aware of. I still do everything to the best of my ability because I know what I am capable of and what I want out of anything I put my mind to.

Since I mentioned this ad nauseam, let me get to the next talking point...


Can You Live With Not Being Perfect?

Let us say your pursuit of perfection falls short. Can you live with yourself, or do you consistently lament missing out on historical greatness? Your own passion and dedication determine if you feel perfection is the way to go. You may even find your inability to do things perfectly makes you a failure. Even the most successful entities have stumbled. You can't be perfect all the time. Living with some sort of blemish on your talent can take its toll on you. Understandably, while mistakes will be made, we become disappointed. The real issue is in trying to not be too fixated on perfection.


Now for some final thoughts.




Perfection: Final Thoughts


Focus more on doing things as best as you can rather than chase perfection. Sure, perfection will make you better regarded and better respected, but countless people have committed and been involved in various failing moments. Do not be afraid to accept or admit failure. Just make sure to rebound proper for the future. Perfection will only stress you in trying to always do things to where they can go no wrong. Do not put yourself under any unnecessary pressure to be perfect.

Helicopter Parenting

John B. Marine | February 10, 2020 | | | Be the first to comment!
It is natural for a loving parent to be concerned about his/her child(ren). Sometimes, a parent can seem too protective or always wanting to check on a sibling. Constant and aggressive overlooking is called "helicopter parenting," and placing so much control over a sibling's life can damage them in the long run. This blog post explains what helicopter parenting is and how it affects the lives of children.






Helicopter Parenting


So what is being a "helicopter" parent? I'll explain in this blog post.

helicopter parenting
^ from: (Psychology Today) - It is okay to constantly be concerned about your children, but be careful not to be a helicopter parent to your children.

There is nothing wrong with a concerned loving parent checking on his/her child(ren). The problem at times, though, is when a parent always seem to shadow children. The feeling is similar to a helicopter hovering over someone or something. When a news report or a traffic report is on television, you usually see helicopter views of the scene. You hear and see the helicopter hover over the scene So is the namesake of "helicopter parenting." Helicopter parenting is defined as a form of parenting where you always seem to overlook your children in almost every situation. A pitfall of helicopter parenting is that it disallows a child to really learn on one's own and live his/her own life. This is all a matter of being overprotective and a bit of an invasion of privacy. Children WILL make mistakes in their lives and do things they think are right or acceptable. In the development of a child's life, they must be able to make mistakes and learn from them. As much as a child learning right from wrong is important in their development, having a certain level of involvement and concern is equally a part of a child's development.


Video Insight.

Here is some video insight on what helicopter parenting can do to children. Namely in this video, to teenagers. Take a look:


^ 5 Ways Helicopter Parents Can Affect You


Helicopter Parenting: Where Do You Draw the Line?

You do not want to constantly overlook your children to where they basically can not have their own private lives. If a child's privacy is invaded by parents, a child is unable to make his/her own choices and live his/her own life. Please note the main idea of this topic is not about whether or not you should be concerned about your children. If you are a loving and caring parent, then you obviously are concerned about your children and all that goes on in the life of your child(ren). It helps to let children have their privacy and live their lives as they choose. Only intervene in the sense of emergency or in some kind of concerning moment.


Helicopter Parenting: Final Thoughts.

While it is okay for a parent to constantly be concerned about your child(ren), being a helicopter parent can be damaging to a child's life. You have to allow for a child to have one's own privacy and live one's own life. You can still be a part of a child's life; just realize the child has some sort of privacy that must be respected. Child or children should also be able to make their own decisions in life for better or worse. A child should be able to take on certain life challenges and learn from them if/when a child makes a wrong decision or has a troublesome experience. A parent has every right to be concerned constantly. Just make sure not to be TOO involved in the decisions made by children, because the long-term effects can impact a child for the rest of his/her life. Take these things into consideration as a parent, and make sure to allow your child(ren) to live life as they can without too much restriction or restraint.





Hopefully this blog post and its subject matter is something you can relate to. Whether or not you find helicopter parenting to be good or bad is entirely your call. Be sure to read my many other blog posts and look at my Helpful Resoruces if you want some extra insight on many different things in life. Thank you for reading! Take care and be well.
