Perfectionist in an imperfect world

Tweet

My Mother told me few days ago that I am a perfectionist; I don't really pay attention to what she said until she explained it to me. She said I change my mood easily everytime I don't see something working properly. Like when the internet connection is slow, the computer is crawling, the car makes a lot of noises, the soda is not as cold as I want it to be, the coffee taste too sweet and a whole lot of other different things. She said nothing in this world if perfect; it's about time that I should embrace that fact so I can enjoy the life that I am living. I told her that I am doing my best to make things happen the right way, in fact I worked so hard for it, so why can't all those problems disappear? Deep inside I believe her, not only because she's my Mom but she is also right (my imperfect Mom with a perfect intention). Her words got stuck in my head that I am currently looking for ways to change or improve the way I think. I know it's not going to be easy, it means changing my whole perception in life. Is there anyone else out there that has the same way of thinking?
