Yesterday was Father’s Day and I hope you got a chance to celebrate the father(s) or the father-figure(s) in your life!

​

We got a chance to walk around the park, and really enjoyed the day!

​

For those of you who follow me on IG, you probably saw my writing piece for my husband.

​

​

You may think it’s looks awesome! But being the perfectionist like myself, I’m not going to lie, I am super unhappy with my writing.

​

I didn’t mention this in my post because I don’t want to take away from what I was posting. I wrote this for my husband and he totally deserved it!

​

Done is Better Than Perfect

 

But I am not happy with the writing at all! I hadn’t had a chance to practice any calligraphy, so my writing was inconsistent. I started and restarted 4-5 times, to the point where I had to say to myself, just finish the piece and post it!

 

​

And here’re the two things I want to share:

​

1) Calligraphy is not something that you learn, master and think you’ll remain good. It’s a continuous craft you need to hone in on.

​

It’s important to accept this, esp. for my calligraphy friends, if you’d left it for a while, don’t get frustrated when you come back and find your writing less than perfect! You just need to jump back and practice again! So don’t give up!

​

2) And for those of you who’re a perfectionist like myself.. done is better than perfect! Sometimes, you just need to choose your battle and let some stuff go.

​

Finishing something is better than giving up. Completing a task will build up your mindset, it completes the loop to reaffirm that you’re a finisher and not a quitter. So even if you are not happy with the way your project is turning out, still try to finish it!

​

Are you also a perfectionist like myself and are highly critical of your work?

​If so, send me an email and let me know whether you’d pushed through before, or gave up midway through! I’d love to hear your story!
