Perfection VS ProgressĀ šŸ“ˆ

Perfection VS ProgressĀ šŸ“ˆ

I work in a manner seeking progress, not perfection. The further I progress, the closer to perfection I’ll get.

And this is also why I push to Start Small. Start Early. Start Now.

ā€œDon’t let perfect be the enemy of the good… If you can’t do it perfectly, do it good enoughā€ā€Šā€”ā€ŠEleanor Konik

Put this quote to work and see how it’s easier to start, start small, and actually accomplish something.

You can do iterations on it to make it better, but you have to start somewhere.

The desire to have something perfect actually stifles mostĀ people.

It stops them in their tracksā€Šā€”ā€Šit leads to procrastination.

That reminds me of Steven Pressfield’s book ā€œThe War of Artā€ —

In the book, Pressfield writes an onslaught attack on the Lower Selfā€Šā€”ā€Šwhich he refers to as ā€œResistanceā€, the enemy to our life’s work.

Most importantly, he explains how procrastination is the most common manifestation of Resistance because it’s the easiest to rationalize.

Don’t give in to Resistance. Don’t give in to procrastination. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

Peace and Love
