Chasing Perfection: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the High-Stakes Game of Creating an NBA Champion

Product Information

After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you." Additionally, be happy for others when they achieve success and use that as motivation to improve yourself. So, instead of chasing perfection, keep working on becoming the best version of yourself you can be without sacrificing your happiness.

Perfection is the quality of being without any flaws be it in talent, lifestyle, looks, manners, and the like. Cheng, H., Concepcion, G. T., Feng, X., Zhang, H. & Li, H.

All I have to do is show up and enjoy the messy, imperfect, and beautiful journey of my life.”– Kerry Washington Yin, J., Zou, Z., Song, H., Zhang, Z., Yang, B., & Huang, X. (2018).

Sponsorship & Advertising Policy I’d rather live my life knowing that I’m not perfect than spending my whole life pretending to be.”– Will SmithIn addition to point 2, since yesterday there are two (apparently decent) subtitles available, see https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search ... ie-1239971 . It is very likely that those subs would NOT have been uploaded if the machine translation was not removed. Realize that no matter what you do, there will always be someone who is better than you at something. So, develop an abundance mindset, practice gratitude, and be content with what you have or the pace of your progress. Rachel offers you a time-tested, results-oriented plan that anybody can use to create a healthy body, a positive mindset, and a soul filled with self-love and gratitude, even if you have time constraints or have previously tried many diets and workouts and not got the desired results.

At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents. The new crop of anti-perfectionist self-help books are an important counterweight to the conventional message of self-reinvention, which is that there’s no point at which it makes sense to be satisfied with your situation and finally relax, since you could always benefit from acquiring more money, status, education, and so on. What’s less clear is whether this humbler kind of advice is any easier to implement, on a practical level, than the old sort. Apart from anything else, our narratives about the perfect life aren’t just beliefs we can choose to jettison by a mere act of will, after reading about research that refutes them. They are deeply entrenched in the culture, reinforced by the media, inculcated in us as small children, not to mention in our genes. (There are some obvious evolutionary advantages to constantly craving more resources, and never feeling as if what you’ve got is sufficient.) Moreover, no research finding about the average happiness of the general population can decisively prove that a given lifestyle choice is the right or wrong one for you, with all your idiosyncrasies. One chapter in Happy Ever After gamely makes the case for polyamorous relationships as a path to increased happiness, but whatever your reaction to that prospect – thrilling erotic adventure, or indescribable hassle? – it’s not clear that you should try to override it based on the results of academic studies.

Nat. Commun. 8, 15324 (2017). Think of what understanding this great orchestration could mean for relationships. Imagine interacting with others knowing that they too each share this parallel with the snowflake. Like you, they are headed to the same place and no matter what they may appear like to you, they have taken the perfect form for their journey. How strong our relationships would be if we could see and respect that we are all perfectly imperfect for our journey.”

Maximum CPS-ratio of 53 (simply unreadable for a human being) vs. a maximum of 21 CPS (not perfect, but very okay). Genome Center, MIND Institute, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine, University of California, Davis, CA, USA Anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation are only some of the mental health problems that specialists have repeatedly linked with this form of perfectionism.

I find parallels in nature to be a beautiful reflection of grand orchestration. One of these parallels is of snowflakes and us. We, too, are all headed in the same direction. We are being driven by a universal force to the same destination. We are all individuals taking different journeys and along our journey, we sometimes bump into each other, we cross paths, we become altered... we take different physical forms. But at all times we too are 100% perfectly imperfect. At every given moment we are absolutely perfect for what is required for our journey. I’m not perfect for your journey and you’re not perfect for my journey, but I’m perfect for my journey and you’re perfect for your journey. We’re heading to the same place, we’re taking different routes, but we’re both exactly perfect the way we are. Since it rarely lasts, chasing perfection can feel like a race with no end. If you somehow manage to attain it, you will have to always be on the lookout and work even harder to maintain it so that something bigger and better doesn’t come along and make it less perfect.
