Beautiful article Alyssa! You'll never have everything figured out is absolutely true. As a recovering perfectionist, I can say that trying to do and be perfect is impossible. Life is all about balance. When you strive for the positive extreme in one aspect of life, you won't have time or energy to succeed in other aspects.

Not being able to please everyone is also true and it should be. You should please yourself not others.

Love the listening tip too. Listening is the most underrated thing that can single handedly make someone a better communicator.
