I’m an English learner from Poland. I’ve always wanted to be perfect so that I was afraid of speaking to everyone because I thought somebody could laugh my accent or my mistakes. This isn’t how we succeed, how we move forward. Thanks for reassuring me in that. You’re adorable Sandra ❤️🙏🏽

I have finally learned that perfection equals paralysis. So many things I could have done in my life but didn't because I didn't think I could do it perfectly. I wish I had realized sooner. Thank you for these words of encouragement and wisdom.. I'm in my sixties now and I thought that I didn't have any more chances but when I see how vibrant you are in your 80s I am so encouraged that there's still a lot more I can do. Thank you

Back in the late 70s and early 80s, I had a band director that always said "perfect practice makes perfect" At that time, it meant that if you practice something wrong over and over, then it will never improve or be perfect. It has taken on a whole new meaning for me now that I am 57 years old. Now, it means for me that I need to just be myself and don't worry about being perfect. No one is perfect. Thank you Sandra for your visit this morning!

I often meditate on the quote "Comparison is the thief of joy". This could be expanded to add "Perfectionism". I think a lots of our thoughts about perfection come from comparison. Thank you for the video. ❤❤

Oh Sandra, you are such an inspiration! I have lived a life of anxiety and depression. My mother has mental health problems too as well as mobility, so I have to come to terms with multi generational living for which I feel ill equipped. I try to live my best life, and you remind me so much of my beloved Gran, and following you makes me feel a warm gentle hug and a nudge of encouragement. Thank you xxx

My mother passed away 8 years ago. She'd be 78 this year. We used to talk all the time, she was my absolute best friend. However, I still feel there was so much left to talk about. I like to imagine I have these conversations with her. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and wisdom.

You and your videos are such a blessing. I’m only 25, but I absolutely adore your videos, your spirit and perspectives as I grow into this stage of my womanhood. Bless you!!!🫶🏽🥰

Dear Sandra, this was the message I needed to hear when I woke up this morning. I have been so hard on myself for trying to be the perfect grandma to my two little grandchildren. They are 3 and 16 mos. I guess it's my daughter, their Mom, I am trying to constantly be there for, really. And I have a hard time saying no to her. She asks for babysitting regularly and help in other ways and I put on my most cheerful face but it's exhausting! Last night I finally said no to one request and now I know I'm in "hot water." I don't have the perfect energy I had when raising my three very hard when I can't be the perfect grandmother my daughter wants me to be.

Thank you Sandra. I allowed perfection to destroy my life. Fear of doing something stopped me. Procrastination. These are enemies of ours. Fear is real only if we listen to it. It’s not real otherwise, only in our minds. There is an acronym FEAR. False Evidence Apprearing Real. I had all the knowledge, but didn’t act on it. It’s about action, not only thinking about it. There is a too late, if we’re stubborn and don’t do what we know we have to do, please don’t put off any longer. ❤️

I'm a teen about to give up . When I listened to you, I felt great because it feels like someone was actually here telling me wonderful advice. THANK YOU 😊

"Everything has a season... we have seasons" I just loved the connection/comparison to nature. It's always good to keep that in mind♡

[karendewaele]

‘Perfection is the lowest standard because it can never be achieved’ - quote from a US marine. I totally agree 🙏😉😘

When I wrote my final exams at age 17. I said to my father... I do not think I can do it!
He said to me: "Just do your best. Nobody can do more than jjis best!"
That was a very good phrase to remember my whole life.

[patriciaholloway]

I'm actually quite bored by perfection (and/or the appearance of it). I love, appreciate, and celebrate the imperfections of "flaws" are beautiful to me. And there is grace in give others the grace to be just as they are and hopefully they give me grace to be my own flawed, human self.
I would still like to drop off some pounds though 😅
Thank you Sandra, have a blessed day!!🙏🙌🌻

I have been a perfectionist for years. I think that it is good for self care, but not anything else. I have been delaying things because of perfection and I will try to get over it asap!

[gladysperez]

Good morning Mrs. Sandra, you’re 100% correct, no one is perfect. I would say that the only person that is perfect is God. We all learn by doing( practice), and it’s okay to make mistakes.

I think that perfection or trying to attain perfection rather than competence and progression makes one stiff.. and when one is stiff, it is so difficult to learn and progress.. Perfectionist manner is ignorance driven by fear (fear of critisim, fear of not meeting certain group's expectation, fear of not being number one everywhere, etc.).. In my opinion, it is opposite to learning and progressing.. thank you Sandra.. I love what you share, I am a big fan ❤

[jajaazmi]

Yes Sandra, live & let live! Even in mundane chores, such as ironing, done is better than perfect. Thank you again my dearest, hugs!

[beulahbenade]

Hello Sandra
I think striving for perfection can really harm a person. Sometimes it's caused by an over critical parent. The child ends up being fearful or insecure of trying anything, for fear of criticism and/or rejection. Once one realizes nothing is perfect and it doesn't really matter, it's certainly not the end of the world, one is more free to tackle things. And what a weight off one's shoulders that

Thank you so much for your uplifting words. I`m a woman at 40 from Scandinavia, and I find so much value from watching your videos!
I find it true that it is hard to even start projects because of perfectionism. You got me thinking, that it can be good to just start what I want to do, and not over think everything. Thank you!
