obsessive compulsive

ok, so i have this problem where i can't finish projects because i complicate things by trying to be perfect and thus make them virtually impossible. i am being broken of this habit, which at times is painful and scary but i'll be glad when its done.
i CAN NOT make anything perfect. i do indeed make things more difficult the more i try to figure them out. the bible says we are given the holy spirit as a guide and helper. (john 14:26)
how can He do His job if i am busy screwing it up.
we aren't asked to think and act perfectly, but rather the contrary, to submit to christ and let Him, with His perfection reign in us.
