Musings on Perfection

As I return from the advent of an unideal audition experience (I was happy with how I danced but know that I can sing better than I did) I find myself in a quandary. How to resolve these feelings of frustration, the overwhelming nagging voice in my head that I have failed myself?

For some reason the judgmental voices in my head are more difficult to shrug off than usual today. Maybe it's my grogginess and/or lack of sufficient levels of magnesium - as the Cuban says.

Though I know a lot of my current, irritating angst will be calmed by my nighttime plan of yoga and an early bedtime, I am still more soothed by these words from Professor Souleymane Bachir Diagne:

Trying to live a perfect life is like being thrown in the ocean and warned not to get wet.

Pause. Breathe. Annnnd moving on...
