I like it when I find a quote related to self esteem from a famous author whose work I have read. I imagine writers can be extremely self-critical and they have to go through so many rejections of their writing before finally getting published.

Steinbeck has the right idea here – as soon as you liberate yourself from the idea you need to be perfect to get by in the world, you can focus on being good. On being the best version of you possible…let go of the perfectionism today!
