An important element of perfectionism is a sense of scarcity and deprivation, so this quotation from iconic graphic designer Milton Glaser offers an important antiperfectionist message:

“If you perceive the universe as being a universe of abundance, then it will be. If you think of the universe as one of scarcity then it will be…I always thought that there was enough to go around – that there are enough ideas in the universe, and enough nourishment.”

Want to live and work in a universe of abundance? Then work to overcome your perfectionism.
