🚀 Perfection Drags You Down—Progress Moves You Forward
Trying to be perfect is like carrying a weight that only slows you down. Progress, however, is light—it allows you to move, adapt, and grow.
💡 Success isn’t about flawless execution—it’s about small, consistent steps forward.
✅ Perfection leads to frustration—progress leads to results.
✅ Perfection fears mistakes—progress learns from them.
✅ Perfection exhausts you—progress energizes you.
🔥 Let go of the burden of perfection and take the next step forward.
🔥 Why Perfection Holds You Back & Progress Moves You Forward
📌 Example 1: Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn’s founder, said: “If you’re not embarrassed by your first version, you launched too late.” Progress beats perfection every time.
📌 Example 2: The Wright brothers didn’t build a flawless plane overnight—they tested, failed, adjusted, and eventually soared.
📌 Example 3: Most bestselling authors don’t start with a perfect book—they write, edit, and refine through progress.
🚀 The faster you release perfection, the faster you’ll achieve success.
