Happy Tuesday! Today, I want to share with you this print that I recently got. I love it, both because of the gorgeous lettering and because of the sentiment it expresses: "choose done over perfect." This is such a freeing thought! I see so many quotes these days that encourage us to pursue our dreams, aim high, and never settle. But sometimes, those quotes can be more stressful than they are inspiring--they can make us feel like we have to do it all, and we should never stop striving to be better. That's a lot of pressure! I think it really is okay is to "settle" for "good enough." It's not a failure, it just means you're choosing to spend your time and energy on something that's more important to you. You can clean your house all day, or you can say, "Good enough--I'm getting outside and doing something fun!" You can look up every single hotel and Airbnb, trying to find the best deal on the best place, or you can find something that's good enough and move on (that's a reminder for me--I've been working on booking places for our Europe trip!). I really believe in this philosophy, and I want to live by it a little more. Perfection is an unrealistic standard to hold myself to, anyways!

What about you? What quotes have been resonating with you lately?

P.S. If you love this print as much as I do, you can shop it here.
