“Perfectionism is self-destructive simply because there is no such thing as perfect. Perfection is an unattainable goal. Additionally, perfectionism is more about perception - we want to be perceived as perfect. Again, this is unattainable - there is no way to control perception, regardless of how much time and energy we spend trying.” WayWantTryingSelfMotivationalEnergyGoalPerfectPerceptionPerfectionDestructivePerfectionismUnattainableTime And EnergySelf Destructive Author:Brené Brown
“Absolute peace in our world is an unattainable goal.

“You yourself create all your misery, hour after hour, day after day. You think the goal justifies the means, even the vile means. You are wrong: The goal is in the path on which you arrive at it. Every step of today is your life of tomorrow. No great goal can be reached by vile means. That you have proven in every social revolution. The vileness or inhumanity of the path to the goal makes you vile or inhuman, and the goal unattainable.” ThinkingMeanTodaySocialGoalHoursStepsPathRevolutionTomorrowMiseryJustifyProvenEvery StepInhumanInhumanityUnattainableSocial RevolutionAfter Hours Author:Wilhelm Reich
