Good enough is the new perfect …..

In human affairs, predictability, order and polished to perfection can actually be dull and uninspiring.
Isn’t a film with a few unexpected twists and turns far more captivating than one where you know exactly what’s going to happen?
Uniqueness is far more valuable than perfection. If you don’t communicate your uniqueness then an opportunity has been lost.
Too often we worry about how we’re supposed to act. But what the world really wants from us is not perfection, but authenticity.
So if you’re procrastinating, just remember that good enough is the new perfect.
