It’s been another interesting week in the midst of a pandemic. I’m sequestered at home, diligently hoping for some sign of abatement of this terrible virus in our world.
I am always working on things to provide to my clients and those that follow me on social media. Sometimes my efforts turn into frustrations as my Perfectionist gremlin rears it ugly head when I am in the throes of my work.
I want my work to be as good as it can be. But there is a limit to that; of that I am aware. However, I can get caught up in the cycle of “just a little more,” or “let’s do that one more time” and things get delayed, or worse, paused.
This week’s lesson is this: Progress is more valuable than Perfection, because Perfection doesn’t really exist.
But sometimes I really think that I can achieve perfection! Then I realize that I can continue to practice and master my skill set, and that is an ongoing journey with no true finish line.
And that’s okay. At least that’s what I tell myself. Over and over. The true lesson of this week is that I will have to continue to tell myself that today and for years to come. It’s a lesson that needs a refresher. Often.
What lessons have you learned this week? Was it a new one or a refresher?
Take care,
Alecia
