“I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God’s business.”
–Michael J. Fox, Canadian Actor (1961 – )
Addendum…
“The pursuit of perfection is usually so time consuming that it prevents you from enjoy so many other things that life has to offer.”
–David ‘checkerhead’ Aiken
I’m pretty sure I inherited a streak of perfectionism from my Father. Though it pushes me to make what I do the best it can possibly be, it also ends up being such a ‘time suck‘ that I need to remind myself that it’s better and quite often happier to shoot for ‘really gosh darn good’ as opposed to ‘perfect.’ Most people will never no the difference and the amount of time it’ll save you will likely mean that you’re able to pursue far more interesting projects than just getting bogged down with one. I know this in my brain, but sometimes I still get stuck on trying to make things ‘perfect.’ Every time I catch myself doing it I remind myself to let go of my iron grip of control, for control really is an illusion…
