There is a difference between aiming for perfection, which is something for which every Christian should strive, and achieving perfection, which every Christian should understand is impossible in this life.
 
And...

...never entertaining notions of his own perfection...

 
as well!

Uh, actually you can always aim for perfection while never entertaining notions of your own perfection. In fact, entertaining notions of your own perfection is a SIN.

Looks like you need to re-read your bible a little more... say: Ephesians 2:8-9. Happy to help!
