Always Choose Progress Over Perfection

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development

The good news is that you do not have to be perfect to be successful. You do not have to get stuck because you want to be perfect. You can achieve greatness without being perfect.

If you want to make things happen, do not choose to be perfect. Instead, choose to make progress every day.

When it comes to growth, it is better to make progress every day, no matter how small, than to hide behind trying to be perfect.

In the words of Mary Poffenroth, ‘When you’re constantly chasing perfection, it’s not because you want to be best. It’s because you’re afraid of what will happen if you’re not.’

Do not live your life in fear. Instead, live your life in faith. Believe in yourself. Believe that you are more than enough, that nothing you cannot do, that you are well prepared to face anything that comes your way, and that you will alway choose progress over perfection. Start today!

As always, you are more, not less!

If You Are Scared Of Your Own Reality, You Must Read These Quotes

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Motivational Quotes, Personal Development

If you do not have the courage to face your own reality, the life you are creating, these quotes are for you.

According to Brianna Wiest,

‘Some people show you what’s possible if you keep going, and others show you what’s possible if you give up.’

‘Your ability to create resides in the millisecond that is right in front of you. The more time you spend fixated on what’s way behind or far ahead, the more you surrender your power.’

‘Even steps backward are part of the dance. Trust that something vital was learned and found within these experiences. Trust that something crucial came to be.’

‘You aren’t being asked to just get past this moment, to only endure. You’re being asked to transform through it. Life is giving you a chance to swell to a wholeness greater than you previously conceived, Say thank you.’

‘Don’t shrink your life to meet your comfort zone; expand your vision to meet your standard.’

‘You don’t have to change your entire life overnight. Just do one thing a little better than you did yesterday. Then do it again.’

‘Focus on how your life feels rather than how you imagine it looks. That’s where your true journey begins.’

‘You are meant for what you want at the deepest level of yourself.’

‘Determine how you’d actually like to spend your today. Every other answer will be found in that same knowing space.’

‘The stronger you get, the stronger you are. The more you learn, the better you become. The more you build, the more you have. The more you become, the more your life expands. Every step sets you a little more free.’

Being scared of your own reality is not the answer. The answer is facing it.

As always, you are more, not less!
