The disease called "Perfection"

Its not often that I find a blog that really stands out to me and is worth sharing. I came across this blog post:

I feel that this disease of perfection is a big issue in Utah. There are a lot of social and religious pressures within our community. I especially like this quote from the blog:

Be bold about your weaknesses and you will change people's lives. Be honest about who you actually are, and others will begin to be their actual selves around you. Once you cure yourself of the disease, others will come to you, asking if they can just "talk". People are desperate to talk. Some of the most "perfect" people around you will tell you of some of the greatest struggles going on. Some of the most "perfect" people around you will break down in tears as they tell you how difficult life is for them. Turns out some of the most "perfect" people around us are human beings after all, and are dying to talk to another human being about it.

I hope you all can take a minute to read over this article. I know I am far from perfect and the people that seem to be perfect have problems just like the rest of us.
