There is always someone better, right?
Disclaimer: like any other opinions on the internet, this post is not for everyone.
I was used to think that everything I did, I had to take it 100% completely. Then I was used to see everything should be perfect. I thought being perfectionist would make it come true. But the more I grow older, the more I realize, that concept is just different with "something should be taken perfectly". I got misconception I guess. In the beginning, I was okay, I didn't have any intensive problem. But later on, I lost much time, I wasted opportunity. The more I tried to be as perfect as possible, the more I got myself so tired. Instead of getting my works got 100% done, I turned out getting much less than that.
Getting done is better than perfect.
I heard that quote a lot on twitter in the context of people who are endeavoring their thesis or kind of final project. That quote is going resonate in my mind. I looked back at my perfectionist self, what a pity. You know the state like you just want to make sure everything is on the track but the track itself is running out of time?
Time management problem.
I'm often sick of myself about doing procrastination a lot. I just needed longer time to begin with bunch of things I should do, but I ended up doing nothing since in the start. Until someday I watched a video on instagram story that procrastination is actually not about time management, but emotion management. Scientific journals prove that. How I manage my emotion is the thing that decides whether I'm going to procrastinate or exactly start doing something.

So, the thing I want to make note here is on this post title.
There is always someone better, and that's fine.
I don't really know the right correlation, but many times I tried to be perfectionist, I just forgot about there was always someone better than me. It's kind of pressure or whatnot. It sounds like comparison between myself and the world, but whatever it just is. The thing I should do much more is feeling enough.
Grateful. Mindful. Hopeful.
I'm supposed to choose to keep learning instead of getting stuck of what's happening. I'm supposed to analyze and start doing what I need instead of questioning things I couldn't take control. I'm supposed to pull myself together and get things done realistically instead of pushing myself too hard and getting depressed easily.
Embracing the unknown. No matter it's going to be, keep going. It's tiring, sure, but people are designed to be adaptive, right?
"Future is just not today business. Today is a gift, so that's why it's called present."
Thumbs up to the unknown.
Peace out to what's passed.
Thank you, next.
There is always someone better, and hopefully it's you in the future. So, keep moving forward.
