Perfectionism Can Be A Gift (if used correctly)

So I used to say I’m a recovering perfectionist but the truth is I’m not recovering at all. I’m still very much a practicing perfectionist and yes, it has cost me a lot of opportunities and missed deadlines but it has also contributed to my success. Weird huh? I used to beat myself up about it but then I realized it can also be a gift.

As long as you don’t let perfectionism stop you from getting your art out into the world but instead use it as a tool for improving it then it can be a great strength.
