The Imperfect Syndrome

There is this invisible syndrome that many including me struggle with. It is called: the imperfect syndrome.

It means to think we are not perfect and not enough to do the task or project. We think: I am not capable enough. Who am I to start this initiative? What am I talking about? What am I doing? People are going to laugh at me.

Then when reflecting, I remember this recite from the Holy Book of Quran when Allah says: “Every person does according to their personal space, energy and capacity”.

This roots me back to myself. What is my space? What kind of energy resides inside me? What is my capacity level?

If that is the case, then I am not supposed to be perfect. I am not supposed to be super. I can just be me, myself and real according to my available space and capacity.

That means we don’t need to struggle. We don’t need to obsess about others’ thinking and judgments. We don’t need to worry about disappointing others.

Because end of the day, it is only you and you only. You with your available space, energy and capacity. Stop breaking your head. Stop overthinking and worrying. Live your life fully. Be just you. And see your life unfold beautifully.
