“I need to stop trying to become
perfect and just try to become better.”
Sasha Cohen, U.S. Figure Skater
How
often do you want everything to be just right? To be the best? To excel? While they are all good aims, sometimes aiming
for perfection stops you from even starting. Why not just aim to take action, learn,
improve and get better?
A mentor
of mine often spoke about how she aims for 80% and above. That she deliberately makes mistakes in what
she does to teach others – her message is that it’s all about taking action and
not being perfect! She has an extremely
successful business so that is when I decided it was time to drop aiming for perfection
and just focus on taking action - no longer waiting for the ducks to all line
up – no longer waiting for everything to be perfect.
The
difference this one step made to me, my life and my results is amazing. Think about where you have been chasing
perfection. Change your focus from
perfection to daily improvement.
