2024_366-304 (#5052) - Symmetry vs Imperfection
Kevin had a physio session this morning along with an MRI scan to make sure the stress fracture has fully healed. The physio is delighted with his progress and has encouraged him to wean himself off both the ankle brace and walking stick. She thinks he walks better without the stick than with it and reducing the reliance on the brace will help strengthen the muscles otherwise they could lazy.
Whilst waiting for him during the scan I started studying the ceilings. I tried to get a perfect arrangement of diamonds but it was tricky. I also felt a bit self-conscious too!
It was at this point I started thinking about perfection and to what extent it hinders progress. I later found this quotation which I think is perfect. Oops, I shouldn't use that word!
"At its root, perfectionism isn’t really about a deep love of being meticulous
It’s about fear
Fear of making a mistake
Fear of disappointing others
Fear of failure
Fear of success".
