I don't know who else needs to hear this today, but this hit me right in the heart:
"Perfectionism is a refusal to let yourself move ahead. It is a loop–an obsessive, debilitating, closed system that causes you to get stuck in the details of what you are writing or painting or making and to lose sight of the whole...
Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It 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 try again.
No. We should not.
…A book is never finished. But at a certain point, you stop writing it and go on to the next thing.
...That is a normal part of creativity–letting go.”
Excerpts from The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julie Cameron
As writers, as bloggers, as actors, as artists, as creative individuals–we can be really hard on ourselves. Do you struggle with perfectionism? How do you overcome it?
