If we all spent just a little bit more time thinking about our future selves instead of our current selves, and using that to make our decisions, it’s hard not to think that we would be more consistent in showing up and doing the things that we say are important to us.
So often it seems like we make decisions as if there’s only 100% effort or 0%. All or nothing.
When in reality you could just show up and do your best. Even if your best effort was only 50% or 25% that is so much more than 0%
No one has the same exact background, upbringing, or story that you do. So it makes no sense to compare what someone else has and the life that they live to what you are currently doing with your life.
Imperfection is the key to success in life.
Perfection, on the other hand, will destroy you. And far too frequently, just the idea of perfection alone will prevent you from ever getting started.
