To embrace our humanity is to embrace imperfection. No one is perfect. You’re just not. And realize you can still be committed to being extraordinary in the areas of life that are important to you. Both qualities can coexist. ~ Peter Crone

Perfectionism almost never leads to perfection. But it does lead to crippling paralysis. Ship fast, ship often, ship imperfuctly.

Be an imperfectionist.

Imperfectionists hit publish.

Imperfectionists ship product.

Imperfectionists iterate publicly.

It’s not that they don’t believe in excellence.

They dream big, but iterate small.

The best available option is always available. Perfect almost never is. If you care enough to contribute, you can care enough to not wait for perfect.

I’ve learned so much from my mistakes that I’m thinking about making a few more.

Perfectionism is driven not by high standards but by anxiety.

If you feel plagued by perfectionism, don’t worry about lowering your standards but rather work to address your anxieties. ~ @gretchenrubin
