“Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be our best. Perfectionism is not about healthy achievement and growth; it’s a shield.” –Brene Brown

Larry the Cable Guy’s blue-collar, red-neck charge to “Git ‘er Done!” is encouraging…because many of us will produce and contribute a lot less attempting to do it “right”.

How much further can we get when giving ourselves the freedom to fall short?

Got wharts and all?

“These ‘mistakes’ occur in my books for a reason. I have an agenda: I’m secretly trying to inspire kids to create their own stories and comics, and I don’t want them to feel stifled by ‘perfectionism’.” –Dav Pilkey
