Striving for Perfection: When Efforts Go Unnoticed:

Published by

What bothers you and why?

As someone who constantly strives for perfection, it can be disheartening when others fail to recognize my efforts. The pursuit of excellence often involves long hours, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Yet, when your hard work is dismissed or goes unnoticed, it can feel like a personal slight.

This situation is especially challenging because the drive for perfection is often fueled by a desire for acknowledgment and validation. When someone says I am not putting in the effort, it can be frustrating and demotivating. The discrepancy between your perception of your efforts and their evaluation can lead to self-doubt and discouragement.

However, it’s important to remember that not everyone sees the behind-the-scenes struggles and dedication. They may not understand the extent of my efforts or the standards I set for myself. This lack of understanding can sometimes result in unfair judgments or miscommunications.

Ultimately, while recognition from others is gratifying, the most important validation comes from within. Trust in your abilities and remain steadfast in your pursuit of excellence.

    I feel that! It helps to keep myself visible to showcase my progress. For example – I used to find it hard to work for more than 8 hours a day. My whole team did it effortlessly. So when I was trying to change myself and put in those extra hours, I made sure to add certain comments when I was on the coffee break with my boss after our daily standup. For example, ‘Oh man! I am feeling so sleepy right now. I was working till 4AM to get the task done. Happy that my work was not too bad’. That being said, I wish I had that validation come from within, because I ended up quitting that job:(
