Perfectionist? Meet the High Achiever

Copyright (c) 2009 Valery Satterwhite

"Art knows no limit, and the artists will never achieve perfection." - Bente Borsum

Bente Borsum is a talented actress who performed with the Norwegian National Theatre and was a director of the Norwegian National Drama School. As a mentor and teacher, she works with younger artists who need professional expertise and encouragement. I found this quote, one of many; to be particularly profound because so many talented people hold themselves back from their work, their full creative expression in search of perfection.

There is a distinction to be made between a high achiever and a perfectionist. The former strives for excellence while the later accepts nothing less that the impossible perfection in themselves and their work. High achievers are motivated by their goal. They relish in the challenge and are energized by the quest.

The perfectionists, on the other hand, beat themselves up with criticism and failure in the unattainable goal of perfection. They hold onto their imperfections and wear them as badges of their shortcomings and failures. The perfectionist is often frozen in the fear of presenting anything less than perfect to the world, including his or herself.

This is a crime against humanity. When a person holds herself back, never finishes a creation because it never reaches perfection, the rest of the world is deprived of that creative expression. We see this not only in the art world, but in the broader perspective of all creations of mankind as well.

Pressure on children to achieve is rampant, because parents seek much of their status from the performance of their kids. The pressure is delivered in the form of criticism. Children often believe that in order to be loved they must be perfect, an impossible goal to reach. In order to be accepted in their industry, their work must be perfect. The pain of rejection is the pain of being un-loved, a fate to be avoided at all costs.

Perfectionists seek the unattainable perfection in them. In their failure to achieve perfection they withhold love of self. And hold back their creative expression and take it with them to the grave.

The perfectionist view of life is shaped by the irrational belief and expectation that rightness is perfection. Anything less than perfection is flat out wrong. In order to be good, there must be perfection. Anything not perfect is bad; the perfectionist is bad.

The inhibiting factor that keeps the perfectionist from making a commitment to change habitual, unproductive behavior is the constant fear of not making the change "good enough". In the quest to create anything, the perfectionist beats the drum of not good enough, wrong-ness, and unworthiness. As such, nothing is created, nothing is expressed other than more beating of the drum of imperfection.

The perfectionist is well served by noticing that much of what society calls great art is imperfect flawed in some way. The Statue of David's hand is too large, for example. Many artists deliberately insert a flaw in their work as a reminder that there is always room to enhance their creative potential. Perfection does not allow for further creativity - the death knell of the creative spirit.

Many of our daily enjoyments were invented by mistakes or by accident. The ice cream cone was invented when an ice cream vendor ran out of bowls. A fellow vendor, a waffle maker, gave him a waffle to roll up to hold the dripping ice cream. Post-it notes were invented because a 3M employee made an adhesive that was too weak. The ineffective adhesive was then repurposed when it was discovered that the weak glue worked wonderfully well when you wanted a temporary stick-able solution that could easily be removed without damage.

A wake-up call to the perfectionist would inspire the modeling the motivational energy of the high achiever. A new perspective and a new goal of excellence rather than perfection will revert the downward spiral of self-loathing and the procrastination that comes with it to and renewed zest and passion to create. Inspired innovation is renewed, creative ideas are turned into reality and the mankind and the world benefits in the richness and gifts of the human spirit.

What's the best adhesive to use for memorabilia?

O.K. I know I shouldn't glue but sleeve it, however I'm am putting back together a scrapbook (that was glued) for an old organization with limited funds. Mostly it's comprised of news articles & photos of their old days.
Personally I have used rubber cement for my recipe cards and found that it dried up and came apart. I've considered spray adhesive, but that could be alot of inhaling (yuk!), and I'm down to (possibly) regular white glue or good old 3M Magic Tape.
What do you artists use to attach to mat boards? And how about you scrapbookers? Any collectors with suggestions?
My goal is to get it together, KEEP it together, but considering the aging--and will age more--papers. Also the least damage in the long run.
Thanks everyone!
Oh that Herma Dotto looks like my typing correction tape, but it's 2-sided tape?!
Yeah, I really didn't want to use any liquid type glue if I didn't have to.

Along with the acid free double sided tape already suggested - I would highly suggest with taking the time to spray the newspaper articles and recipe cards and any other "paper memorabilia" with an archival spray to prevent deterioration - yellowing and becoming brittle. Eventually crumbling. The spray will stop the aging not make it new again. It is about $6. at Joann's and if you are going to take all the time to re do this book - this is definitely a worthwhile investment. Use one of the 40% off coupons from Joann's. What a wonderful thing to do for an organization - and a wonderful gift for future generations. Kudos to you.
Ps glue, scotch tape, and rubber cement are probably the worst things to use for treasured memories - they are adding to the distruction of your memoribilia by giving off an acid spreading to the paper.
