Why You Don’t Need To Be Perfect

You are not expected to be perfect. No one expects perfection from you.

According to Alan Stein Jr., ‘No one gets it right every time.’ That is why you shouldn’t worry about failure. It will happen, like it or not.

It does not matter what you do. You are not going to get it right the first time. Because of that, if you want to grow, you must be patient with yourself.

Don’t strive for perfection. Instead of wasting your time, why not go for excellence? Why? Because

If you are striving for perfection, you are not going to win the fight. You are going to lose it. It is a losing fight. Don’t even try to face perfection.

It is not going to happen. It is not going to happen because we are human beings. We are still growing. We are still developing yourselves. We are still improving our lives.

We are not free from making mistakes. And mistakes are going to happen. If you are not making mistakes, if you are not messing up, if you are not screwing up, you are not trying enough. You are not pushing yourself enough. You are not taking risks.

If growth is what you are after, then you must focus on excellence, not perfection.

Excellence is possible, but perfection is impossible. So if you want to lead yourself forward, you must focus on excellence, not perfection.

Focus on getting better every day. Why is that? Because we are still growing. We never stop learning. We never stop growing. We never stop developing. And we never stop improving our lives.

The question is, ‘What are you doing to improve your life? Are you going to stay the same forever?’

Stop Making Excuses

‘People who don’t make excuses are the ones you want on your team. They are the ones you can count on when the pressure mounts. They are the all-stars, the leaders, the consistent winners in life.’– Dr. Jason Selk and Tom Bartow

Winners don’t make excuses. If you want to be a winner in your life, do not make excuses. Start taking actions, start facing your fears.

‘People who don’t make excuses are the people you want around you.’

People want to be around winners, around doers, around achievers. If you want people to be around you, then you have got to change what is not working for you. Change your bad habits. Stop making excuses. Start confronting your fears. Now is the right time to do it. And you can do it.

‘If you want to be successful in your life, you must surround yourself with people who don’t make excuses.’

Leaders don’t make excuses. They face their problems. They take responsibility for their failures, for their screw-ups. So if you want to be a great leader, you must take responsibility for your life. Do not hide behind excuses.

And consistent winners don’t make excuses. If you want to be one of them, you have got to stop your excuses. Stop them before they stop you from achieving success in your life.

And you can. How? One step at a time. One action at a time. And one fight at a time. The more you do, the closer you are to where you want to be.
