What Does Perfect Look Like?

Perfectionism is not the need to be perfect. It's the refusal to let yourself move ahead. Reread that. 

We create this idea of perfect so that we don't have to move forward. Because if our resume was perfect, we'd have to submit it. If our art piece was perfect, we'd have to send it to market. We'd have to take the next step in our life. 
 
We'd much rather blame our inability to act on perfectionism. Telling ourselves this narrative of "I'm setting a high standard" or "It has to be right." Rather than saying, "I'm afraid of the next step." 

So, recognize in your life where you are waiting for something to be perfect. Recognize. And then let yourself move ahead. Take that next step.
