Okay this is not an easy lesson. I mean I really would like things to be all perfect and just so, so right. But nothing could be more wrong, wrong, wrong… than that endless trying to get it just right, right right!
Because pursuit of perfection most often leaves you missing opportunities, procrastinating, or taking an absolutely insane amount of time on details that don’t really matter.
Like the quest for the perfect website, which you keep changing, and never have time to build traffic for, or the article you prepare that you work on again and again, trying to polish every word until it becomes stale, stale, stale.
You see as every successful person emphasizes time and time again, it’s action that counts not the fact of being brilliant. And action that is imperfect.
Trying to be perfect has to be one of the most perfect ways of failing.
So my friends, lets drink to ” imperfection-ism”…..to swallowing our pride, making ourselves vulnerable and making all those goddam mistakes. Because perfection is just a pipe dream leading to paralysis, and death by analysis!
