I have a friend who is a perfectionist. This attribute makes me nervous; I have to work very hard not to feel like a slacker when I compare myself to her. Then, I have to remember not to compare myself to her. I think that I produce high-quality, innovative work that is oftentimes creative, but I cannot label it perfect.
This morning I was reading a New York Times Bestseller. There’s a typo on page 120. It’s not perfect, but a lot of people have bought it.
I am going to try to remember that I don’t have to be perfect to do what I want to do.
Is perfectionism always critical?
Is excellence and perfection the same thing?
What would you do, if “it” didn’t have to be perfect?
