Why it is harmful to strive for the ideal: an apt quote from Yulia Vysotskaya

The actress and the cook shared an interesting observation.

Photos of Yulia Vysotskaya invariably cause admiration from fans. The actress, who turned 50, manages to maintain perfect physical shape. At the same time, Julia herself believes that the pursuit of the ideal is a road to nowhere.

“We want to be perfect, we are too demanding with regard to our appearance. But in fact, no one needs an ideal, and the world around us is not ideal. Imperfect people can get along much more easily with this imperfect world.

There are such lines in Vysotskaya’s book “Eat, run, live.” Fair enough, if a bit sad – it turns out that perfectionists more often have to feel misunderstood or alone.
