Better is a fine line between perfection and just slapping something together with duct tape.
But is it really a fine line, as if one was balancing on a high wire? I would argue that it isn't. Better is a wide chasm, where you should have your sights set on the other side.
You should also resign to the fact that you will never achieve perfection.
What is perfection when it comes to art? This may be in books, movies, paintings, sculptures, houses, well . . . virtually anything that can be created. The deer stand that I sit in each hunting season may not be perfect, but it's better than sitting my butt on the cold, frozen ground.
How many movies have you seen where you enjoyed it and everyone else criticizes it to no end? Or books? TV series?
Strive to do better. If you really want to see this in action, look at your favorite artist, be it musician, author, painter, singer, etc., comparing from their early works to those decades later. Those who persist over time will be more refined and far along the "better" line than those just starting out.
