Perfection


                                            


 PERFECTION

“To improve is to change, to be perfect is to change often.”

                        Winston Churchill

Constant improvement is an excellent goal, perfection is not. I am not

sure perfection even exists. We get so caught up in believing things

must be “perfect” or this or that must be “perfect.” Perfect can be

paralyzing. Perfection is the enemy of good. Sometimes good is good

enough. If we follow one of the most fundamental rules of life, “do your

best” isn’t that all we can do, our best? Be the best version of ourselves

in the moment. We can all improve, constantly. We can do the work,

prepare, and get the job done in the best way we know how and that

is that. If we seek “perfection” we will never get anything done. We

can spend 5 hours getting 99% of the fence painted and then spend

five more hours just finishing those last touches trying to eliminate all

those brush stroke marks, just to make it look exactly perfectly right to

the discerning eye if you can even see it, when it looked pretty darn

good five hours before. What did that additional 5 hours get us?
