We push, and strive, and struggle, and succeed, and then want more of that. More of people approving of us. More of people expecting things from us, and us proving that we can deliver. We consent to play the game, to be our best or die trying. What would happen, though, if we decided to stop playing?

Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
This movie is very touching. The little girls grows up with all that pressure placed on her by her parents to be the best and to be perfect. It is a shame when that happens – when the opportunity to live a full and balanced life is robbed away from a child by parents. I am glad that in the end she is able to let it go and realize that her pursuit of perfection is futile.
I found it really touching as well. As a recovering perfectionist, I know that pressure all too well–and what a relief it is to let it go!

I personally love deeply for the type of matters you actually submit listed here. SEO
This year, after perhaps 7 or 8 years, I completed walking all 217 fells (mountains) in the English Lake District (UK). In fact what I don’t tell most people is that I left one fell un-climbed. It seemed the right thing to do.
