As I was reading Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg I came across this quote from Facebook headquarters, "done is better than perfect," and it has become my mantra as of late. Don't worry, this is not a promotion for mediocrity. Rather, "done is better than perfect" is the attitude of believing in yourself and your ideas. It's a rallying call to put yourself out there despite imperfection.
This is why I write. It's not certainly not perfection, but it is done, and thus I'm able to progress. I write and I have nothing to lose, but even if I did the risk of failure is much better than staying complacent. Perfection hinders progress, so do and be done.
