Excellence v. Perfection

I've been working hard to downsize the mess at home. That means sorting through piles and piles of papers, bags and boxes of accumulated material. It weighs me down, it burdens me and as I let it all go, I feel so much better.

In the process, I've found some things which have been lost for a while... here's one:

Excellence v. Perfection

Excellence is willing to be wrong
- Perfection is being right
Excellence is risk
- Perfection is fear
Excellence is powerful
- Perfection is anger and frustration
Excellence is spontaneous
- Perfection is control
Excellence is accepting
- Perfection is judgment
Excellence is confidence
- Perfection is doubt
Excellence is flowing
- Perfection is pressure
Excellence is journey
- Perfection is destination
