Winston Churchill stated that “perfection is the enemy of progress.” Perfection is something many artists get tangled up in. Striving for it and hating everything that they create because it isn’t perfect. Some get so trapped by it that they stop creating all together due to the self-deprecating thoughts and hateful emotions surrounding that elusive goal.

Your constant drive for perfectionism can prevent you from even trying and ultimately stop all progress. (Photo Credit: 123RF.com Image ID: 47013353 Copyright: STUDIO GRAND WEB)
