For years my perfectionist ran the show. Of course, I saw it differently: I was responsible, committed, and had high standards. And that was true. \n\nBut what I didn\u2019t see were the obstacles my perfectionist threw in my path.\n\nMy quest to make everything perfect was stressful, time consuming, and unachievable. I worked way too much because I never made the connection that \u201cgood enough\u201d would take less time and would be \u2026 well, plenty good.\n\nAnd my deep desire to make a career change was stuck in the \u201cI wish\u201d stage because I had no time, energy, or mind space left to do the work of figuring out what I really wanted to do professionally.\n\nAnd then one day a light bulb came on: the ONLY common denominator in all of my experiences was me \u2013 which included my perfectionist.\n\nGulp.
