Yes this happens to me all the time. I particular love where you say that failure creates action and momentum- so true so afraid to help my son on a project we are working on - a software program to help those with multiple types of disabilities - wanting it to be perfect or one that no one else has thought of instead of just plunging in and now we are doing so researching and attending conferences and talking to many and informing ourselves and discovering what is needed and providing that for a community of individuals that will truly benefit
Yes! And the only way to discover and learn what is truly needed is to dive right in and evolve through several rounds of your project before it’s dialed in the way you really want it to be. Proud of you for taking action and going through that process! That’s where the success lies!
YES! And I think people often confuse ambition with perfection and they are two different things. You can still be ambitious and chasing greatness without that perfectionist mentality. I’ll always be a work in progress!

'perfect is the enemy of good'

Me too!
Thank you for this post. I posted something on perfection recently. https://www.firstlightblog.org/p/prefection?r=5zpn6f&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Thanks for sharing your perfection journey. You have learned lessons we need to hear. One quote I relate to is "Perfection is the enemy of good."
