How To Be an Imperfect Perfectionist

Imperfect perfection is the art of doing. 

It is in the relentless practice and pursuit of the things that motivate us. 

Sometimes there is an incentive. You might have an incentive to show up to the office every day and earn a paycheck. 

This is no way to live life. 

We should do things that inspire and challenge us. We should be on a mission. 

How do you find out what your mission is in life? 

You become an imperfect perfectionist. 

The story we tell ourselves in our own head is I can't work out I don't have the right equipment. I can't start that business I don't have the right connections. 

These are nothing more than lies we have convinced ourselves is the truth so we do not have to do the work. 

We offload the mental load because conditions are not perfect, the tools are not perfect, the timing is not perfect. 

Guess what? 

It is never going to be perfect. This is why you need to become an imperfect perfectionist. 

An imperfect perfectionist is someone who does what they need to do no matter how small the step or how imperfect the situation is at any given moment. 

They are perfectionists at the art of being imperfect.
