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!

You Already Have Everything You Need To Start Your Life

Waiting is a waste of time. You have got to start doing what you have been talking about. If you are not doing it, someone is already doing it somewhere.

Don’t wait. Because life is not about waiting; it is about doing. It is about changing things, not about staying stuck.

If you scared to start, do not be scared. You are not alone. You are on the right track. You are moving closer to where you want to be.

Do not let fear stop you from living your dreams. God puts you here for a reason. You are not alive by accident. You are here on purpose.

No matter what life has done to you, you must not put God down. Keep going. Yes, things are not easy to start, especially when you are doing it for the first time.

Do not let that scare you away from your life, from your success, from your growth, from your maturity. If you are too scared to start your life, to start your new business, or to be who you were created to be, ask God for help.

And He will not fail you. But you have got to be specific about what you want. Believe it or not, God will do it for you. He knows you more than you know yourself.

God did not bring you here to frustrate you, to disappoint you, to shame you, to abandon you. God brought you here to expand His work.

Remember, if God is for you, you can do all things.

As always, when things get tough, remember who you are. You are more, not less!
