Are you a "High achiever" or a "Perfectionist"?

There's a fine line between being a "Perfectionist" or a "high achiever".

Both are ambitious, diligent, goal-focused, obsessed to win, and not satisfied with achievements.

But here are the differences that stop perfectionists and let high achievers grow:

🌱 High achievers face their failures, admit, and learn
⭕ Perfectionists are fearful to accept and show they've failed at something

🌱 High achievers focus on their goals itself
⭕ Perfectionists try to reach the goal to show others how perfect they are.

🌱 High achievers know how to prioritize, plan and get things done
⭕ Perfectionists set unrealistic goals, waste time on unimportant stuff, and procrastinate

🌱 High achievers enjoy the process and every small achievement they reach
⭕ Perfectionists try their as*-off to celebrate when they achieve their ideal goal

🌱 High achievers compare themselves with their past (learn and celebrate)
⭕ Perfectionists compare themselves with others in a toxic way (leads to depression and anxiety)
