Is Being Obsessed With Something Good or Bad?

Being obsessive is bad when it causes mental, emotional and physical issues, or if it negatively affects other people.

But obsession can also be good, and you can learn to use it to your advantage. Being obsessed with a goal will make you extremely determined and, therefore, more likely to achieve it. Obsessive people are more likely to be more successful for a number of reasons.

Obsession helps you get close to perfection.

But here’s something you should consider...what is your goal in life?

Your goal shouldn’t be to reach perfection. It should be to enjoy life. Are you strong enough to do that?

How can you enjoy life?

Look at the big picture. Don’t focus on small, temporary pain.

Yes, you should also try to improve your life. But without obsession. Remember: — perfection doesn't exist.
