Wow, this is a masterpiece, every line in this post has deep meaning.

I learned an important lesson: perfection is hard to achieve, and striving for it is admirable but impossible.

This is so true, the more you strive for perfection, the more you get anxious, stressed and if not watched, depression might set in. Best bet, do the much you can because no one can ever achieve perfection because we are naturally imperfect beings.

I wasn't completely satisfied, but that's normal. For creators, nothing is ever truly finished because there's always something that could be improved.

I do experience this sometimes, I think it's normal with any creator, lol.

I've picked these insightful tips and I hope to adopt them too.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece.

Thank you for your kind words, Luchyl. I understand the importance of being mindful of depression.

I have personally experienced depression for a long time and have tried various treatments such as medications, ECT, TMS, and Ketamine Therapy.

Every day, I am working on being kinder to myself and practicing self-forgiveness.

I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad you found my words relatable.

Keep it up always, brother. It's a lifelong battle but your actions are winning over something that's powerful beyond belief - which means you are powerful beyond belief. :)

I like what I have read. The fact that you spoke to your therapist about an artist and got to know that as a creator, you want more, but that doesn't mean what you've done so far isn't a beauty.

And this is where being kind to yourself comes to play. Thanks for sharing.

Hello dearest fashionable dreemer. Happy New Day! It is Thursday, which means pypt, and I hope you had fun joining in. If you didn't get the chance to, next week Thursday awaits ya! Have a good day, beautiful/handsome. I waltzed in from #dreemport, for I am an amazing #dreemer. An awesomely made #dreemerforlife.

Thank you my friend, I always enjoy reading your posts and insights.

Loving it. And happy that it is your portfolio post as I can see a lot of value for people checking your blog when they see this as a portfolio piece. My personal thanks to you too. Despite knowing it for quite some time I have intentionally started showing kindness to myself only since your acquaintance. And already it is positively impacting my loved ones as I am able to operate at a lower stress level than normal. And considering that high BP is bad for my chronic kidney situation, your passion for kindness is actually medicinal for me.

Bless you Greg!

Oh wow, that is wonderful to read, you know when I read such posts it generally helps me, it gives me encouragement and want to continue trying to make a little difference wherever I can. You are a gifted writer my friend.

Being kind to ourselves will make everything easy for us, you know sometimes we are tempted to beat ourselves so hard when things don't seems to go as planned. Truly perfection is not for mortals, it's a beautiful thing to chase after it but it is also wise to put it at the back of our heart that we may not really be perfect, perfect 😊

The journey of creativity is a step by step journey like you said and funny enough it is endless, hehhe. All your images are amazing, I can't take my eyes of them🙈

I came across this post on Dreemport

Many thanks Emreal, I’m glad you found value and I sure appreciate you taking time to comment. We can be our own worst enemies at times right!

The pleasure is all mine. And for the enemy thing, sure , it one of the biggest limitations man has

Oh my goodness @gregscloud , this is indeed a pin worthy post and I wouldn't hesitate on reb logging it so I can always come back to drink from the well of your wisdom
As I read, I felt you are talking to me
At a point I felt too emotional

Achieving perfection may be challenging and darned right impossible to achieve, but that's alright. Aiming for 'good enough' is a worthy goal. There will always be room for additional effort, but sometimes 'good enough' constitutes a victory.

These lines got into me so much and thanks for talking to me directly.
Showing kindness to myself is what I also need to embrace from today regardless
There are lots of take home values here
Great job I must say

Finally, I love your images
They are charming
Creative and lovely 😍

Thank you for the lovely comment, my friend. I am glad it resonated with you. Sometimes we treat ourselves badly when we should try to be loving and kind to ourselves, just as we would with a dear friend. A lifetime of trauma can sometimes cause us to be cruel to ourselves, I think. Thank you for the comment; I surely appreciate you taking the time to read the post. :)

There are some wonderful lessons here which everybody could use beneficially in their lives. As always, very well written, Greg. Thanks to @luchyl for pointing out your post to me!
