Perfection says ‘not enough’; progress says ‘keep going.’

Perfection Says ‘Not Enough’; Progress Says ‘Keep Going’

🚀 Progress Moves You Forward—Perfection Holds You Back

Perfection whispers, "You're not ready yet."
Progress says, "You’re learning—keep going."

💡 The people who succeed aren’t perfect—they’re persistent.

✅ Perfection makes you feel like you’ll never be good enough.
✅ Progress reminds you that every step forward is growth.
✅ The choice is simple: stay stuck or keep going.

🔥 Which one will you listen to?


🔥 Why Perfection Will Always Slow You Down

📌 Example 1: The world’s best musicians, athletes, and creators never stop improving. They don’t wait to be perfect—they show up and do the work.

📌 Example 2: Walt Disney’s first animation studio failed. If he had stopped at "not enough," we’d never have Disneyland.

📌 Example 3: NASA didn’t wait for perfect conditions to send a man to the moon. They learned by doing—and made history.

🚀 Perfection asks, “Is this good enough?”
🚀 Progress asks, “What’s next?”
