Don't pursue perfection

“Perfectionism is simply putting a limit on your future. When you have an idea of perfect in your mind, you open the door to constantly comparing what you have now with what you want.
That type of self criticism is significantly deterring….
The idea of perfect closes your mind to new standards. When you drive hard toward one ideal, you miss opportunities and paths, not to mention hurting your confidence.
Believe in your potential and then go out and explore it; don’t limit it.”
John Eliot, Ph.D., Reverse Psychology for Success
