       What Dr. Burns had identified, I believe, is really the tactics by which our enemy (you know whom I’m talking about) strives to work against usIt is this spiritual warfare, to use a big label here, that can make our lives miserable if we let it. But then there is also the beloved chapter 14 which is about perfectionism. This has been an ongoing battle for me, though, I’ve definitely gotten better in this area over the years. However, I do, like many others, have a tendency to strive for absolute perfection. If you read that chapter from ‘Feeling Good,’ you’ll know what I’m talking about. There’s nothing wrong with doing a good job, but when you become enslaved to your work, and to trying to make everything just right, then, certainly, it is a problem. Besides, we cannot make anything perfect in this life anyway. There is nothing that is truly perfect, except God himself. And there would even be some that think he’s not perfect. The solution, the only real win in battling perfectionism, is to give it up.
