Day 3 -Perfectionism is sooo imperfect!

 

One of the greatest obstacles to progress, at least in my experience, is perfectionism. If I wait for the perfect moment, if I wait until I am fully ready, if I wait until everything lines up just right, ...well I never get anything done. Because the perfect preperation and the perfect timing does not exist! I think Mike Litman said: "You don't have to get it right, you just need to get it going!"

...Isn't that a liberating idea? A car is easy to steer and direct when it is moving, not when it is stopped. I read somewhere that on a flight from LA to New York, a commercial airline plane is only directly on route about 3% to 4% of the time...the rest of the time the pilots are making little corrections to point the plane towards it's destination.

Remember, 'you don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going.'

...Just keep moving forward and remember that the winner is just the person that didn't quit. The "last man standing" is the success, the leader, the winner!

PARFAIT!

Well ... life, indeed, is not perfect.  If it is, then it becomes too boring.  Your lines are good ... great punches!  Very true.  If we keep on chasing that perfect level, we just would have to forget to enjoy the present.  And the most important thing to remember is not to let go the present moment.  If that happens, we'd never find time to enjoy it.  Whoo!  Did it confuse you further?  Never mind.  You know the drill and you said it all right.  Go for it!

 

Clap, splash, brush, smile.  Have a great day, JZ!

 

Cheers,

Way to go! Way to go!
