"To require perfection in our art (or whatever we do) is a cop out and an excuse to not do the work. Learning and creating requires effort, risk and failure, without which personal growth stops. It is our job to show up when tired, disillusioned or afraid. It is rarely easy. In the process we learn, we fulfill our purpose and hopefully leave the world a more beautiful place.
