Every time I sit down to apply for jobs I run into the same problem: work ethic. I have a work ethic but I get easily frustrated by my writing and inevitably refuse to send out any job applications because I don't deem my cover letters worthy. Well, this cycle prevents any hope of me finding a job.
Back in the day I dated a guy who would not submit his essays because he didn't think they represented his writing well. I mocked him - completely lost in this concept. A deadline is a deadline. It must be met. Not turning in an assignment was never an option. But now, without deadlines, I find I face the same issue. I refuse to "produce" something that isn't quite perfect. But at what point must I face the fact that maybe I can't produce something that is perfect? Maybe this "almost quality" is the best I can produce? So when will I admit that I just have to give up and submit my work rather than dreaming of perfection?
The answer is not today...still working, still striving, still dreaming...
