Progress, not Perfection
Perfection is an illusion. Perfection is a snare. The idea of attaining perfection is a mirage. Hoping that your day, week, month, and year will go as smooth as you would like, is unfortunately not going to happen. Your journey to achieving your dream, or pursuing your passions will also probably not go as smoothly as you would like.
Have I busted your bubble? Sorry. I hope that you do not mind too much. I also hope my honesty will still encourage you.
Far too many people approach life with grand ideas and they hope that their dreams will just happen to come true along the way. Unfortunately, that is rarely ever the case.
Often, individuals will wait for the perfect time or situation to come along before taking action. There is no such thing as the perfect time or situation. Because of this, these individuals will never take action, and their dreams will die as they wait. Far too many dreams and goals will never come to fruition, because those who had them never made any attempts to bring them into existence. Focusing on achieving perfection will always add extra and unnecessary pressure that can hinder and halt your pursuits. Striving for perfection can derail your goals and your passions.
Rather than get stuck waiting for the perfect time, opportunity, or scenario; start focusing on taking action and making real progress.
Decide to take action, rather than wait: choose to learn, grow, and make progress! Waiting for the perfect time is an excuse for procrastination. Choosing to move forward allows you the freedom to put things into motion. Focusing on growth and progress allows you to make actual progress and move toward the goals that you have in mind. Focusing on making improvements, allows you to grow and improve without the pressure of having to achieve perfection.
As you strive for growth and progress, you will help fuel the fire for your goals and passions. As you see yourself grow, improve, and make progress, the greater your passion and progress will become.
Forget the illusion of perfection, focus on the progress that you can make today! Make the most of every opportunity! Keep moving forward.
