A better question might be do we want to do everything perfectly. A person named Nishant Jain calls himself the Sneaky Artist and he is coming out with a book in September.
Perfect is "within whose version of perfection?" Perfect is boring. Perfect is scary. Functional is different. Following rules that need to be followed is different.
This post really resonates. Having grown up in a family of perfectionists, I know firsthand the 'perfect or give up' mentality. It took years to unlearn the idea that I had to subscribe to someone else's definition of perfection. Nishant Jain, the 'Sneaky Artist,' and his upcoming book seem to tap into this perfectly. Your question, 'A better question might be do we want to do everything perfectly,' hits the nail on the head. Thank you for this powerful reminder!
Being a perfectionist, I found that this really struck home. I’ve gotten better at letting go over the years, but there’s still work to be done. 😉
It can be a tough one to let go of, especially if we're raised that way!

True!

Yes! I believe "good enough is good enough!"
