Focus On Growth, Not Perfection

‘When we focus on small, incremental improvements instead of perfection, the human spirit takes over, and all things become much more possible.‘- Dr. Jason Selk and Tom Bartow

Nothing is perfect. It is okay to be ‘perfectly imperfect.’ That is what you want to fight for, not perfection.

If you want to be perfect before you do anything, you are going to wait forever. Why? Because you can never achieve perfection. But you can grow while you are fighting for perfection.

Growth is possible, but perfection is not. If you focus on perfection, if you are striving for perfection, you are setting yourself up for failure.

Do not do that. It will hurt you. Whatever you want to do, do not wait to be perfect before you take the first step. If you do, you are going to wait forever. And forever never ends. It continues.

Don’t Set Your Goals Too High

‘Setting goals too high and hoping to ‘get close’ is one of the most damaging things you can do to your performance.’- Dr. Jason Selk and Tom Bartow

If you want to achieve success in your life, you need a powerful goal. It is important to have one or two. But setting your goals too high is not going to help you. Instead, it is going to demotivate you.

Goals are motivators, not demotivators. If your goals are not encouraging you, if your goals are not motivating you, then you need new goals. Maybe the ones you have right now are too high for you. If they are too high, you won’t be able to make them happen. And when they are too low, you won’t learn anything from them.

‘If you want to be successful, if you want to achieve greatness in your life, do not set your goals too high.’

The best thing to do is to set goals you can achieve, but not too low. And not too high. Because you need them.

Without a goal, you are not going to achieve success. You won’t even know what is going on in your life. You won’t even know where you are, what you are doing, and where you are going.

Remember, your goal is your guide. If you want to get to the next level in your life, you need a new goal. Do not be scared to start again.

If the goal you have right now is not working, then set a new one. Do not forget that life is about growth. If you do not have a goal, if you do not have something to fight for, then how are you going to grow?
