Description

Perfectionism is a silent killer. It’s the voice that says “not yet,” “it’s not good enough,” and it convinces us to wait until someday. But the truth is, you don’t get better by waiting — you get better by doing. You get better by showing up messy, awkward, and imperfect. Remember, unhappiness isn’t failure, it’s having ideas you never give yourself the chance to try.
