Perfectionists: Have very high standards and feel as if they should never fall short of those standards. Optimalists: Have the same very high standards but know that from time to time they will fall short, they will make mistakes, etc. As the great positive psychologist Tal Ben-Shahar says, “Perfectionists reject everything that deviates from their flawless, ideal vision, and as a results suffer whenever they don’t meet their own unrealistic expectations.”… “Optimalists accept, and make the best of, everything that life has to offer.” Optimalist > Perfectionist all day, every day. #mentalperformance #mentalskillstraining #mentalskills #perfectionist #winorlearn
