The imperfection of perfection
Perfection is the antithesis to creativity. Or is it an antidote? A vaccine? Some kind of blocker
the perfectionist mindset
For me, the perfectionist mindset prioritizes perfection above all else. Procrastination on a project is better than attempting and failing. Don’t try if you can fail. Don’t ruin the idea of the project by ruining the implementation.
Perfectionism is what freezes me from doing creative work
The Creative mindset
The creative mind prioritizes self expression over everything else. Mistakes are fine because the express where you are. Effort is itself beautiful, regardless of the result. Approval is internal. No need for external validation. You’d do it anyway. Need to create needs to come from this.
