Perfectionism VS. Reality
When creating, does the perfection you are seeking derive from an already molded idea / concept you consumed? Recognizing the harm in striving for perfection over progress is essential for fostering creativity. Let’s factor a little reality into the equation… As your ideas grow and develop, your capabilities will naturally expand if you remain committed to improvement. Your first attempt may not get you where you imagined. We must forgive ourselves and admire that:
-
1. We made an attempt – the seed has been planted.
- 2. We accept that the progress may not have translated exactly how we expected, but with more effort info the craft we can achieve a greater result – under proper conditions, the seed will develop naturally.
Ultimately, we must accept that perfection is unattainable. Rather, recognize and embrace when something is good enough to meet the initial goal.

Why is perfectionism detrimental?
Striving for perfection can lead to burnout and exhaustion – dimishing your passion for what you once appreciated. This relentless pursuit often becomes counterproductive, stalling your progress and fostering procrastination, ultimately hindering your ability to achieve your goals.
Rather than striving for perfection, choose a different perspective… Challenge conventional rules. Ask yourself: What holds more value, perfection or self representation?
What represents your authenticity?
Creativity rarely emerges from expections or contraints. When attempting to be creative, seek intentions that allow your true self expression and your version of greatness.
