I know it's one of my biggest struggles (i even have a section on my blog for "recovering perfectionist") and I have never heard this comparison or difference in mindset between perfectionism and excellence. I cannot thank you enough.

I think that's partly why we are to view everything as worship to the Lord: it helps us to remember that all we do is in humble gratitude to the only One who has ever been, and will ever be, perfect.
