If you’re a recovering perfectionist like me, this is a challenging concept … but without it, not much is going to get done.
In another version, you’ve probably heard that “perfection is the enemy of done“, a different perspective on how our quest for perfection or certainty can be our enemy.
Whenever I sense the appearance of those intrusive thoughts, I invoke another mantra … “Ready, Fire, Aim,” a worthy revision of that old maxim that reminds me to take a chance and, whatever it is, get it out there.
Almost always, you can fix it later if you need to.
