RE: Why I Don't Pursue Perfection

in #life8 years ago

"You are to be perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect."
I'm not talking about perfectionism here, but a spirit of excellence.
For instance, we are writers - we're making a post for steemit.
Not everyone is going to notice the small typo's, the careless errors, the lack of close editing...but we will, because as Hemingway said, it's better to be skillful than lucky.
We don't cut ourselves slack in the things that really matter to us -- not if we want to be excellent.
Well, that's my philosophy, lydon, but I'm not a famous Hollywood actor, but I know all about the unforgiving minute, and I don't believe Matthew M. for a moment LOL!!

"It's better to be skillful than lucky." I like that.
Always learning from you John. :)
