"The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection."

--George Orwell

I think the root of my problems is my perfectionism, which is really my desire to be God. Like the title character in Bruce Almighty, I don't think God is doing a great job in my life or in most people's lives in general, and I feel that I could actually do a better job than He/She/It. I realize that this is arrogant and presumptuous of me, but I don't know how to shake this irrational belief. Neither do I know how to accept that I am not perfect and that seeking perfection is a waste of time.

So far, EFT does not seem to work for this. I haven't tried my "Belief" Paraliminal CD, but I'm not sure if that would help, either. I see my therapist tomorrow -- do you think she could help with a type of therapy? Any other advice or thoughts would be appreciated.
