Sometimes it's okay to give up!

My biggest flaw in life is being a perfectionist. See I put a lot of effort into everything I do. I also tend to get frustrated when my hard work doesn't pay off. Like most I hope to be successful in life. In my case if things don't go as planned I make the mistake of letting it get to me, even though I already know life is full of failure as well as success.

Sometimes I truly hate being the creative type, I always have to be creating or doing something that makes me feel productive. This often results in me designing anything from shirts to freshening up my blog posts. I often draw up house designs of home's I will never be able to own. You could say I am a big dreamer and like most I would be lying if I didn't admit I want my dreams to come true.

At times I simply try too hard, maybe harder than I should when it would be better for me to relax and just take it easy.

This is why I think I have to learn to give up, to just do my best and not place so much pressure on myself to be successful in everything I do. That's why I say sometimes it's okay to give up. Now does this mean I will just give up completely and stop trying?
