Aim for Progress More Than Perfection—Progress Keeps You Moving

🚀 Perfection Stalls, Progress Moves You Forward

Perfection feels like the goal, but in reality, it’s the enemy of momentum.
💡 The real key to success isn’t doing it perfectly—it’s doing it consistently.

Progress compounds over time; perfection keeps you stuck.
Small, steady action leads to mastery.
Momentum is built through movement, not waiting.

💡 Are you holding back because you're waiting for things to be perfect?


🔥 Why Progress Always Wins Over Perfection

📌 Example 1: Shonda Rhimes (Grey’s Anatomy) didn’t start as a TV mogul—she improved one script at a time.
📌 Example 2: Jeff Bezos launched Amazon when it was just a book site—had he waited for perfection, it wouldn’t exist today.
📌 Example 3: Vincent van Gogh painted over 900 works—not all were masterpieces, but each one was progress.

🚀 The biggest successes are built on imperfect but consistent action.

"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence." – Vince Lombardi
