You’re not here to be perfect or to set a good example or to please anyone. You were born to love and enjoy your ordinary, peculiar, inconsistent, good-enough self.
PERFECTIONISM: You have to do everything right to be loved. LOVE: You don’t have to do anything right to be loved.
Allyson Dinneen is an American marriage and family therapist as well as a writer. As the above words attest to, much of her work reaches out to dispel the connection between perfectionism and being loved.
My mom was a perfectionist and I could never meet her standard. Then, I met Jesus and found that He loves me just the way I am and that has made all of the difference in my life.
