This is for the perfectionists out there.
One of the biggest lessons I've learnt is that not everything is perfect, it isn't as advertised, and most things are almost “good enough”.
In school we're taught to work hard, perform well, get high grades and only then success will come. This is only partially true.
“A finished job is better than a perfect job that never gets finished.”
So when you read that everyone else sucks too, it isn’t that everyone produces poor quality.
It’s that the idea of perfect, and anything less being not good enough, is usually overthinking.
Most people are figuring it out as they go. Most good work has rough edges. Most progress comes from doing, learning, adjusting, and doing it again.
The goal isn’t to lower your standards.
The goal is to stop letting impossible standards stop you from moving.
Finish the thing. Put it out.
Improve the next one. Keep going.
You got this.
