Never done writing, just out of time.
There is a distinction between OCD and OCPD, with the latter being obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. While OCD individuals strive for perfection to the point of detriment, OCPD individuals pursue excellence but are often grouchy due to their meticulousness. It is suggested that highly skilled professionals like surgeons and pilots commonly exhibit traits of OCPD. Learning to value goodness over perfection and understanding that 'good enough' exists is crucial. The speaker emphasizes the challenges of perfectionism in preaching, but also the acceptance of imperfection and reliance on grace. The notion that 'you're never done writing, just out of time' reflects the perpetual desire for perfection and the need to embrace excellence without being driven by anxiety or the pursuit of perfection for safety. Ultimately, the realization is that the qualities leading to professional success can sometimes lead to personal failure.
