Let Progress Handle Your Journey—Perfection Can’t Even Start It

🚀 Perfection Keeps You Stuck—Progress Moves You Forward

You can spend forever waiting for the perfect conditions, perfect skills, or perfect moment.
💡 But perfection never starts anything—progress does.

Waiting for perfection leads to hesitation.
Progress creates momentum, even when it’s messy.
Done beats perfect every single time.

💡 What have you been postponing because it’s not ‘perfect’ yet?


🔥 Why Perfection Blocks Growth & Progress Builds It

📌 Example 1: Arianna Huffington was rejected 36 times before launching The Huffington Postshe let progress lead.
📌 Example 2: James Dyson created 5,127 failed prototypes before a working vacuum—perfection would have stopped him at #1.
📌 Example 3: Steven Spielberg was rejected from film school multiple times—but progress made him one of the greatest directors.

🚀 Perfection fears failure—progress learns from it.

"The desire for perfection leads to procrastination, but small progress leads to transformation." – Unknown
