![]() Grab a pen and a piece of paper for this exercise. Let’s dive into the pool of doubt, perceived perfection, and the human psyche. There’s more that goes into it than you might think. ![]() So, how can we know when something is excellent enough to put out there for all to see? How can we plunge into the depths of our doubts and swim back to the surface with a feeling of comfort and security around the things we do? It’s not an easy task, but each one of us has it in us. Pursuing excellence is never a bad thing, but allowing it to paralyze you to the point of inaction can negate hours of hard work and deprive yourself and the world of the joys of sharing your talents. ![]() However perfection rarely, if ever happens, and that word can mean so many things to different people. Few things feel better than formulating an idea, creating it from scratch, and seeing it carried out exactly in the way that you pictured it from the start. There is something to be said about creating the perfect end product. Hell, it’s probably a bigger part of life than success is, especially when one is exploring uncharted territory like creating a work of art or starting a business from scratch. However, failure is often seen as a negative - how often do you see people sharing an utter failure on their facebook or Instagram pages? Naturally as humans we want to share our happiness and successes but failure is a part of life too. Some of us fail more or less than others - we are all different, and we arrive at our end goals in different ways, at different times. Most likely it was hundreds, if not thousands. Whenever I listen to a groovy song, view a stunning photograph, read about a successful business, I always wonder about how many times the person who created them failed before they succeeded. Even these words I’m typing now, at some level, I am unsure of. Every image that I photograph and every piece of writing that I create and share with the world, I second guess. The words we type, the art we create - everyone’s a critic, and the worst critic of all is usually ourselves. There is more opportunity for people to view (and judge) our work that we want to ensure there are no flaws before we unleash it on the world. These days it’s easier than ever to share things with others - we can do it at the click of a button. Sometimes, like lots of people, I try to chase perfection. ![]()
