Original Advice
“You are allowed to finish imperfectly - Rough is still real, and done beats dazzling. You may rest, simplify, and say no so your best ideas get made. Drop the guilt—you lead by doing, not by proving.”
Finish Ugly. Lead Anyway.
Perfection is stalling in costume. Every extra polish is delay dressed as ambition. Your idea wants air, not glitter. Finish ugly. Call it done before pride sands the edges off its heartbeat. Ship the draft with coffee stains. Say no to the fifth pass, the nervous flourish, the show-and-tell. Lead by output, not applause. Rough is real. Done moves mountains. Dazzle can wait.
Momentum is your muse. Friction sharpens you; overthinking dulls you. When you rest, you reload. When you simplify, you focus the flame. Saying no clears a runway for the idea that actually wants you. Craft grows in public, not in your head. Evidence of leadership is the thing existing, not a spotless explanation. Progress proves itself. Keep the fire fed with finished things.
Cosmic Context
You are cardinal fire: spark, not polish. Your power is ignition, so honor it by crossing finish lines, not by worshiping shine.
