"To require perfection in our art (or whatever we do) is a cop out and an excuse to not do the work. Learning and creating requires effort, risk and failure, without which personal growth stops. It is our job to show up when tired, disillusioned or afraid. It is rarely easy. In the process we learn, we fulfill our purpose and hopefully leave the world a more beautiful place.

To require perfection in our art or whatever to do is a cop out and an excuse to not do the work. Learning and creating requires lots of effort, risk and failure, without which our personal growth stops. It is our job as creatives to show up even when tired, disillusioned or afraid. It is rarely easy. In the process we learn about ourselves, fulfill our purpose, and leave the world a more beautiful place.
