The Word of mAn[S]o0r

What is it with people’s obsession with perfection!?!!! 

Coming from a bit of a perfectionist (me!) that might sound hypocritical, but hear me out. We all want it, we all aspire to it, and we indulge so much in the pursuit of it that it leaves us burnt out and often, heartbroken! The question at the end, however, is… “Do we ever achieve it?” 

When was the last time something ‘perfect’ happened!? There will always be something left over, something you didn’t think of, or something which screwed itself up. That one thing, which makes you regret not having thought of earlier, because it ruined your hard work, or that one thing someone else who see’s ur “perfect” work picks up on. 

After a long struggle with myself, i’m surrendering to the notion of “less than perfect” (not the show, ofcourse!) or “good enough”. Life’s too short to spend running after that perfection! Oh, and for those who say, the end justifies the means, those who think that the perfect result will be reward enough, stop deluding yourselves! It’s not! the world will not wait around while you finish you masterpiece, it will have moved on and left you in the ditch.

Best of luck with finding your “good enough”… it may not be the best, but it’s damn better than the heartache of finding that!
