Let’s call Perfectionism What It Really is

How does perfectionism stifle your creativity – and drive you to exhaustion? The bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and Big Magic Elizabeth Gilbert takes perfectionism to task. She says: ” Perfection is just fear in high heels and a mink coat, pretending to be fancy. But it’s just terror. Perfectionism is the lie that says there’s a rent you have to pay to be on this earth… But it’s not true. You don’t have to be perfect to be here – or even good. You’re allowed to just be.”
