Perfectionism

I have a problem with being perfect. Not that I think I, personally, should be perfect, but that I should be able to do everything I attempt perfectly, on my first try.  Sewing, cooking, crafts, etc.  It doesn't matter what it is, I have a vision in my head and feel that it should come out how I see it, no matter what.  This is impractical for so many reasons.  Logically, I understand this.  Emotionally, I don't.  It's frustrating to not have your vision come out right the first time.  And then I give up, because if it didn't work the first time, no use in trying again.  

I'm trying to get over that mindset.  I've revisited crafts and sewing projects, trying to figure it out and get it somewhat right.  Nobody gets it the first time (except Katy Perry and her sewing projects--darn her), and it always takes some practice.  Master craftsmen are continually perfecting their craft.  As a super novice beginner, I just need to keep practicing at the things I undertake.  It's annoying, because I have a vision in my head, and I'm a perfectionist.  But meltdowns over failure are so unattractive, so I need to put on my practicing hat and just keep trying.  And getting over my perfectionism and keep in mind the vision is a goal to strive for.
