Becky Beaupre Gillespie once said, âGood enough is the new perfect.â Stop chasing perfection. Perfection suggests a state of flawlessness, without any defects. To be perfect implies a condition where your action or performance attains a level of excellence that cannot be exceeded. Voltaire once observed, âDonât let the perfect be the enemy of the good.â In other words, instead of pushing yourself to an impossible âperfect,â and therefore getting nowhere, accept âgood.â Millions of people are obsessed with perfection. This obsession makes it difficult to make a decision without wasting too much time analyzing every detail. Seth Godin explains: Perfect is the ideal defense mechanism, the work of Pressfieldâs Resistance, the lizard brain giving you an out. Perfect lets you stall, ask more questions, do more reviews, dumb it down, safe it up and generally avoid doing anything that might fail (or anything important). Youâre not in the perfect business. Stop pretending thatâs what the world wants from you. Truly perfect is becoming friendly with your imperfections on the way to doing something remarkable. Perfection is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough, that we should keep try again, and again and again without getting to done. #perfectisboring https://www.instagram.com/p/CBV4PMKB_Dx/?igshid=1wm7foua9t2k2
