Sometimes even professionals need inspiration and advice. We often turn to other professionals many of whom are generous with their knowledge and now create videos and talks that offer advice to those in the field.

The last video I watched was a talk given by National Geographic Photographer Sam Abell in 2015 and there were many things he said that made me stop and take note. But this one quote really spoke to me.

Perfection is not the ideal.

I have an inner perfectionist who cried at that and then silently nodded in agreement. Perfect truly doesn’t exist, and we will only ever be good because we absolutely will never be perfect.
