Perfectionism, Self-Compassion, & Grit

Perfectionism is a 20 Ton Shield

- Dr. Brené Brown

"When perfectionism is driving, shame is always riding shotgun."

"If I look perfect, live perfect, work perfect, I can avoid or minimize criticism, blame, and ridicule."

"Perfectionism is a 20 ton shield we carry around hoping it will keep us from being hurt. In truth it keeps us from being seen."

"Sometimes I'm a healthy striver, sometimes I'm a perfectionist. It depends on whether I have a worthiness crunch going on."

"Healthy striving is internally based. I want to do this and be the best I can be."

"Perfectionism is what will people think?"
