Perfection Is The Enemy of The Good
Stop gaslighting yourself and just do it.
Perfection, the sly enemy of the good, has a knack for trapping us in a cycle of never enough.
It’s high time we break free.
Seriously, just do it. Drop the quest to please everyone, the obsession with lining up those proverbial ducks, the self-gaslighting, the self-sabotage.
Do today what’s planned for tomorrow.
Do now what’s planned for today.
Perfection isn’t prudence; it’s friction. It’s the embodiment of fear, a sneaky pitfall disguised as a virtue. We often end up snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in its pursuit.
We’ve got to stop this madness, halt the procrastination, and cease using ‘perfection’ as a crutch for inaction.
It’s time to show up, even if it’s messy, incomplete, unpolished. Let those rough edges be your weapon to slice through the mental clutter.
Waiting for perfect is a fool’s errand. It’s about stepping up now, imperfections and all.
No holding back, no shame in the game.
Just raw, unadulterated action. Because in the end, ‘just doing it’ is infinitely better than waiting for a perfection that never arrives.
