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?’

Why You Shouldn’t Be Afraid Of What You Do Not Know

If you do not know something, the best way to go about it is to ask more questions about it.

Ask lots of life-changing questions, lots of them. If you have the courage to ask more questions, the better.

People don’t know what they don’t know because they are afraid of what they don’t know.

If you want to know something, don’t shy away from it. Ask yourself, ‘Why am I afraid of this thing?’

If you want to grow, you must explore what you don’t know.

Why is that? Because that is where your growth lies.
