Quotes about self-improvement programs

Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be your best. It is the belief that if we live perfect, look perfect, and act perfect, we can minimize or avoid the pain of blame, judgment, and shame - Brene Brown
At its core, this quote reframes perfectionism not as a virtue, but as a defense mechanism. It's not about excellence; it's about using a perfect facade to insulate yourself from criticism and shame.
