It’s easy to label me a perfectionist. I seem to demand high quality from others. I work for a brand that demands high quality of itself and I’m proud to know I can ask perfection of myself and those around in what we do and not feel guilty about it. We’re not in the business of allowing something “janky” to slip by. This is the passion behind great quality. . . . What people don’t realize is it’s not the aspiration for perfection that generated great quality. It’s the acceptance that perfection is not attainable, it’s never attainable. But giving our best, showing up, failing and trying again, growing every day, and becoming better than we were yesterday— that is attainable. That’s truly what we’re after. The definition of perfection in a sense is an action of continually improving until something is as free from flaws or defects as possible. . . . Steve Jobs has made some of my favorite quotes on this: “Details matter, it’s worth waiting to get it right.” “Demand perfection and don’t settle for anything less.” “Don’t let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice.” . . . So with that definition in mind and these quotes in hand, I tread forward. I’m always striving to do the best I can in what I’m doing every day and I will not apologize for that. I will not let anyone take that away from me. * * * #bestofme #stevejobquotes #demandperfection #perfectionist #quotestoliveby https://www.instagram.com/p/B1c9HDzhaIRjFZk8Ydv_TpYtiSkDXjsHABllaI0/?igshid=1x3ba7iahem1d

Connect the dots

It is impossible to connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something…because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well-worn path and that will make all the difference. – Steve Jobs  

I didn’t know how true this was until I was a bit older and definitely, a lot wiser.  Things just seem so big when they are presented to you and every possible solution that you can come up with just falls short. Now, I’m not saying that life has gotten easier, or that the solutions that I come up with now aren’t just as ridiculous as they were back then, but I definitely am more mature, in the simple fact that now I believe that there is a solution.

Realizing that everything happens for a reason and the end result will be all the more satisfying, (and trust me, I know that everyone thinks that they know this quote and live by it but very few actually do! To know this quote and understand it are two different things, as you will soon see), it makes life easy for me.  Realizing that everything happens for a reason means that when the actual problem occurs you don’t start cussing. Now I know it’s impossible, so I’m going to say that the cussing should be at the minimum and should eventually stop, before the problem ends. When the problem occurs you start finding solutions and believe me, the stupider the better. It is because the stupider the solution the more capacity it has to improve and become a great solution, a logical solution doesn’t have any room to improve.

And we all know that the end result is all the more sweeter because of the time and effort that we put into the problem, it is because we cannot hate the thing that, have caused us pain in the beginning, but ended in something good (which is probably why my mother loves me.)
