Perfectionism stops you from starting. The speaker argues that daily practice builds discipline and clarifies ideas better than waiting to be perfect. Start anything today, no matter how rough, and that's your win.
Good morning, everyone. Here's your Moment of Yes. I'm still in Illinois. It's rainy, it's cold, it's early, but the Moment of Yes goes on. To be super honest with you this morning, I was struggling coming up with a Moment of Yes. You know, I took my listening, I took my meditation time, but nothing was coming that I felt sort of worthy to share, and that was a little discouraging. So as I just took a little bit more time to reflect, I took a shower, and the idea that came to me was the moment of yes is not about perfection. You guys have obviously realized that. So my idea today is, it's whatever you're stuck with, whatever you aspire to do and you're not doing, whatever is holding you back. Is it possible that you're in this perfection mindset that unless I can do it right and look good doing it, That I'm not going to do it. And I think a lot of times we let this idea of needing to do things right, to do things perfectly, stop us from trying things. So for me, it's not about perfection, it's about progress. Knowing that I'm going to do this every day, I'm going to get better in the process, my ideas are going to probably become clearer, more articulate, the discipline is going to take root. And it's only obvious that things are going to get better, that the process is going to get better. And again, it's not about getting it perfect. It's about the learning, the growing, the progress that happens by committing to the actual discipline itself. So whether you want to learn how to rollerblade, play the piano, sing, draw, start your own business, whatever it is, just start doing it. But don't worry about being perfect. Just worry about making progress. And trust me, if you're trying, you're making progress. That's your moment of yes for today. Have a wonderful day, everyone.
