Perfection Not Required
Perfection is a moving target, one that often paralyzes rather than inspires. You might delay painting because you don’t feel “good enough.” You might abandon a poem because the lines didn’t come out exactly as you imagined. You might hesitate to sing, dance, doodle, write, or sculpt—because somewhere along the way, someone told you that art is only for the gifted. But art was never about being perfect. It’s about being real. It’s about capturing something true: a moment, a memory, a mood. It’s about expression, not expectation. Even the masters had messy sketches, abandoned drafts, and countless mistakes along the way. The difference? They kept showing up. They made room for their imperfections and allowed them to be part of the process. When you create from the heart, something shifts. You're no longer chasing approval—you’re exploring your own voice. You’re reconnecting with what it means to be human: to feel deeply, to try earnestly, and to express freely. That’s what gives your work soul. That’s what resonates with others—not the polish, but the pulse behind it. So paint even if the lines wobble. Write even if the words feel clumsy. Dance even if your steps are out of rhythm. The act of showing up—with heart, with courage, with sincerity—is what matters most. Because art isn’t looking for perfection. It’s looking for you.
