If you’re waiting to be perfect, you’ll never start… Image via Unsplash I remember when I wanted to start a new career in freelance writing. I spent a lot of time practicing my craft... And every time I wanted to apply for a job, I felt I wasn't there yet. I'd spend some days going through blog posts of freelance writers that I considered perfect. And I'd feel, nah, I'm not there yet. I don't qualify. My writing isn't that good. My editing skills were far worse. I became stuck for months. I wanted to be perfect. I wanted my writing to be flawless before I could start out and apply for those freelance jobs. My desire for perfection became a significant barrier to personal growth. And I know you may sometimes feel that you need to be perfect before doing something. Your desire for perfection may have stifled your creativity, ruined your self-esteem, or even sabotaged your relationships... You're tired of being held back by your unrealistic standards..
