"Perfectionism has nothing to do with getting it……" — Julia Cameron
"Perfectionism has nothing to do with getting it right. Â It has nothing to do with fixing things. Â It has nothing to do with standards. Â Perfectionism is a refusal to let yourself move forward. Â It is a loop-an obsessive, debilitating closed system that causes you to get stuck in the details of what you are writing or painting or making and to lose sight of the whole."
