Midnight crisis

in #life7 years ago

Hi Steemians,

I just wanted to write about some thoughts I had last night. You're in bed at night, thinking about the past few days and thinking "What have I been through?"

My current situation looks like this: I'm in the middle of my final exam. I constantly hear compliments about my work, which I do and I am involved in increasingly important decisions. I see myself as a normal person. I'm not a guru, an oracle or anything like that. But that's exactly what they expect from me. I'm supposed to make the right decision for everything.

That's what makes me kind of skeptical. Do I deliver the performance that others expect from me? Am I the person everyone thinks I am? Generally speaking, I enjoy my job and really enjoy working. I just enjoy my work. Are these then questions that one should really ask oneself? Maybe I'm just being too self-critical. Admittedly, I'm a perfectionist. When I do something, it has to be perfect. But what does perfection mean to me? It's only perfect if I like it? Are others satisfied with my kind of perfection?

That's how I fight it.

I am passionate about making music. There is nothing better than packaging your thoughts and feelings into music. You have a valve to relieve stress and switch off. That's why you can find music on my blog. :)

Now I'd like to know if you guys have that kind of thing more often. What are you doing about it? Be very grateful for tips.

Sort:  

You shouldn't worry about the 'perfection' which others expect in your work.
The life you are living is completely yours and it's better to satisfy yourself rather than fulfilling other's desire.
Cheers :-)
