Agree with embracing being bad at some things.
For perfectionists it's basically therapy.
I'm training for a triathlon. I kinda suck at it. Taking me way longer than I had planned, much slower progress.
It's humbling, but also freeing too. It's ok to not optimize every aspect of life. It might take me a year of training to be able to finish a triathlon instead of 3 or 4 months, and I'll likely be in the back of the pack ... so what?
