Settling for less, or nothing at all?

[Fkeu'itan]

Which would you rather?

I personally would much rather settle for nothing than settle for something less, on all counts in life. This I suppose is a huge downfall on my part as it means either something has to be virtually perfect (or as I expected it to turn out) or I will never be content with anything. Suppose you could call this perfectionism.

I have this issue in a lot of things in life, particularly artwork. It takes forever to get anything done as I absolutely have to get everyhting the way I like it or I just think it looks terrible and i'll never be happy. The same goes for playing music. A wrong note or a missed section and I feel i'm cheating myself or those i'm playing to somehow.

It's a difficult thing to describe to those who do not experience it, but those who do can relate perfectly.
