Done is Better than Perfect ✅

I never considered myself a perfectionist until I started coding. I'd obsess over pixels and be frustrated when my vision didn't align with what was within my ability to create. And I started to hear this phrase a lot:

"Done is better than perfect."

Of course, some things will always require precision, but one thing I'm slowly learning as I transition from university student to working professional (and back and forth between those two) is that for most things we do in life, there is a wide range for success.

The coolest people I know aren't the ones with the most money, fame, beauty, intelligence, or any other positive quality. Even if it's a mess and inelegant and nobody seems to care, they're the ones who show up everyday and keep doing.

Today was a success because it was done, not because it was perfect. 💚

Virgo Energy

Virgo energy analytical, detailed, and meticulous

Virgo stands as a mutable Earth sign ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect. Individuals born under the influence of Virgo embody a unique blend of analytical prowess, practicality, and a keen eye for detail. Let us delve into the essence of Virgo energy and explore the distinctive qualities that make Virgos the diligent perfectionists and caring nurturers of the zodiac.

The Grounded Essence of Virgo

As a mutable Earth sign, Virgo is firmly rooted in the tangible world, grounded in practicality, and guided by a deep sense of duty and service. Just as the Earth provides a stable foundation for growth and sustenance, Virgos offer a steady hand and a reliable presence to those around them. Their energy is characterized by a methodical approach, attention to detail, and a desire to improve and refine everything they touch.

Ruled by Mercury

Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, governs Virgo and bestows upon them a sharp mind, analytical skills, and a thirst for knowledge. Like the swift messenger of the gods, Virgos excel in critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication. They have a natural curiosity and a keen ability to dissect information, making them adept at organizing and categorizing the world around them with precision.

The Perfectionist Nature

One of the defining traits of Virgo energy is their inclination towards perfectionism. Driven by a desire for excellence and a high standard of quality, Virgos hold themselves and others to a meticulous level of scrutiny. They have a keen eye for detail, a strong sense of order, and a relentless pursuit of perfection in all aspects of their lives, from work to relationships to personal endeavors.

Hardworking and Diligent

Like their Earth counterparts, Virgos are known for their strong work ethic, dedication, and commitment to excellence. They approach tasks with a methodical mindset, breaking down complex problems into manageable steps and working tirelessly towards achieving their goals. Their ability to focus on the finer details and their willingness to put in the hard work set them apart as reliable and conscientious individuals.

Focus on Health and Wellness

Virgos are particularly attuned to matters of health, hygiene, and overall well-being. They have a keen interest in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, paying attention to diet, exercise, and self-care routines. Virgos are meticulous about cleanliness and organization, finding comfort and peace in a well-ordered environment that supports their physical and mental health.

The Art of Service

At the core of Virgo energy lies a deep sense of service and a genuine desire to help others. Virgos are natural caregivers, always ready to lend a helping hand, offer practical advice, and support those in need. They derive fulfillment from making a positive impact on the lives of others, whether through acts of kindness, thoughtful gestures, or practical assistance.

Challenges and Growth

While Virgo energy is characterized by its precision, practicality, and attention to detail, it can also manifest as perfectionism, criticism, and a tendency towards self-criticism. Learning to balance their high standards with self-compassion, flexibility, and acceptance of imperfection can help Virgos cultivate a sense of inner peace and harmony.

Virgo energy invites us to embrace the art of precision, perfection, and practicality in our lives, while also nurturing a sense of service, care, and attention to detail. By embodying the qualities of Virgo – diligence, analytical skills, perfectionism, and a focus on well-being – we can cultivate a sense of order, purpose, and fulfillment in our daily lives.

writing as a perfectionist is so hard bc I always have a certain concept and lesson that I want to apply to all of my stories and if I can’t achieve the sort of greatness or level of perfection I want it to endow, I can never bring myself to publish it

my greatest fear in life is being viewed as 'mediocre'. i cannot be just 'okay' or 'fine'. i can either be great or nothing. i can either be perfect or not and i ONLY have the choice of being perfect, there's simply no in-between. mediocrity genuinely scares me to death and the very thought of being seen as it <<<

Okay, have any of y'all tried to make a human design for a character you love a lot, but you love them so much that your perfectionist brain is like "NOT GOOD ENOUGH" to every design you make?

That's me rn with a Caine design and I hate it.

#I usually make human designs because I am not too good at drawing objects rn but I still wanna draw him while I practice #the amazing digital circus #tadc #tadc caine #fanart #Fanart thing #perfectionist issues #i love him too much #I wanna throw up from joy whenever I see him

The creator

The rush, I can feel it running through my veins

The world beneath my fingertips as I create

I can feel the universe expand

Time is not linear and for once I understand

I did not choose this path, it chose me

I never looked for it, I found it blindly

It is natural like it is to breathe

Something inside of me that craves to be released

And yet, something is wrong

I know,

Everything I touch needs to turn to gold

What value does my craft hold if not every line is perfect, every brush stroke?

Even through a magnifying glass, the details need to be just right

Perfection is unobtainable, not easy to define

Even God wiped out His creation with a flood

Riddled with flaws, set it back, restart

I create until my hands feel numb

The familiar routine

The feeling of filling the cup up only halfway

The stutter in the middle of a sentence

The dissonance in an orchestra play

The one mistake when you draw outside the lines of a coloring book

Do it again,

...

The need for it to be more than it is

Now it is too big, the need for it to be less

The need for it to be perfect

And there it is, the validation

That's what I wanted, the recognition

But is it?

It feels good, temporarily

For it to be seen the way I wanted it to be perceived

And now

I'm filling the cup,

I don't stutter,

There is no dissonance in the symphony,

No color outside of the lines in the coloring book

But it never lasts

The cycle repeats itself

The familiar routine

I go back to not filling the cup,

The stuttering,

The dissonance,

The color outside the lines

Perhaps I am the problem?

I look within and I see a reflection of my craft

I see lack

Finally I realize

I never craved the validation from others

Only my own will erase the feeling of lack

And I also realize

The space in the cup leaves room for a journey

The stuttering means I have something important to say

The dissonance can create tension and is what makes the release satisfying

The color outside the lines turns into little drawings that turn the image into my own

I think to myself

Maybe I can find beauty in the flaws

Maybe what I create is enough.

I need the people who took the advice of “just start writing even if it’s bad” to come to the front and tell me if that actually worked for you because my perfectionist brain cannot comprehend doing that without focusing on mistakes.
