8. The best piece of advice I’ve ever received…
“80% perfect is perfect enough.”
My dad would tell me this growing up, seeing how my inner need for perfection was my survival mechanism for avoiding rejection. It wasn’t until later in life that I finally understood what he had been trying to tell all these years: that 80% is perfect enough.
That I am enough. That I’m worth so much more than what I do or how “right” I do it. That’s the day I set myself free, and I’ve been focusing on the “80% Solution” ever since. I aim to do 80% of my work well enough and let the other 20% go that nobody notices anyway.
