Perfect

I know, I know. Nobody is perfect. But I don’t get why some others can be so easy to settle with mediocre results.

Holding to higher level of standards are important but when you try too hard and it still doesn’t mean your desired level, it’s depressing. This is especially true when it is a collaborative effort that requires some others to complete the work together. When they have failed to meet your desired level over and over again, should you just stop pursuing the level you desired, or should you just do away with the people that can’t meet the standards?

I chose the former. But that seems to have negatively impacted the level of standards I have for myself. I start to let myself get by with mediocre results with the things I do at work and even in my life.

It’s dangerous to start to compromise on quality. When you start doing it once, there will be another time you’ll compromise on something even worse.

I’ve started to realise that I’ve become someone that always gives themselves an excuse to not do more for better results, to do less and be content with mediocre outcomes, to not do anything because it is what it is.

This is bad. I feel bad for myself.

How do I get back on being strict on myself? How do I get back on feeling the sense of accomplishment when achieving something of my standards?

Is it my fault for being influenced by people around me, whom are unable to deliver my expected outcome in the things that I entrust them to do?

How not to be influenced by them?
