Any advice you’ve ever heard or given. I linked a great video that I think would be my answer, combined with the “stop caring what other people think about you” and “comparison is the thief of joy” comments below. Just do stuff that you wanna do, don’t compare and don’t care what others say. It’s awesome advice.
I shared this before here, but it completely changed the way I live my life:
Perfect is the enemy of good enough.
So please, give yourself grace and understanding especially if you are a perfectionist. Go at your own pace.
We had a phrase in graduate school for group projects… “good enough, move on”. Or GEMO. When we were getting too wrapped up in the details someone would say “should we just GEMO?” And there’d invariably be a sigh of relief as everyone agreed yes, it’s good enough, let’s move on.
“Good enough is perfect”
Necessity + Sufficiency = Perfection
