"Perfectionism feed(s) fear"

While reading through Launching the Imagination, the mention that "Both habit and perfection feed fear" hit close to home for me (133). I have often limited my potential simply because I do not feel like what I create is worthy of being art or something that will make a difference. What if Michelangelo had told himself his work was never going to be good enough? The world would never have seen his painting at the Sistine Chapel. The work of individuals that go before us shows what humans are capable of creating through applying oneself.
