Let’s cut the bone straight up.
Perfection isn’t a destination.
It’s a cult. It whispers sweet nothings like “Just one more edit” and “You’re not ready yet” while it pickpockets your momentum.
Perfection is a taxidermied owl. Looks wise. Is dead inside.
Progress is a raccoon on Red Bull. Ugly. Alive. Ripping up your trash.
The lie? That greatness happens in a single lightning-strike moment.
The magic isn’t in getting it right.
It’s in getting it wrong, 87 times, until “wrong” starts curtsying and calling itself style.
Perfection is a coma. Progress is a fistfight.
Stop polishing. Just get it done and let it fly out into the world.
Perfection is what holds us all back and just like in this super simple emails. I write them in one go and that’s it.
You just need to be willing to show up daily and if it fails, well. There’s always tomorrow.

P.S. The Mona Lisa was once a sketch. Jesus had 12 bad drafts before Judas.
P.P.S. Your brain will scream “But what if they laugh?!” Correct response: “Good. Cats in hats are funny.”
