Perfection is killing the Vibe

Want to know one of the biggest derailments in personal growth and chasing our dreams?

It is the perception of perfection. 

We hover over new ideas thinking,"It’s not quite right yet. I’ll wait."

We hold back from starting that business because "I don’t have the money for a professional website like everyone else. I’ll wait until I do."

“I will wait until...” becomes an endless loop.
Rounds and rounds of tweaking.
Chronic over planning.
But a failure to launch. 

Perfection can be the trap that is keeping you stuck in one place. 

Real progress doesn’t come from perfection. 
It comes from choosing to move forward anyway. Even when it’s messy, imperfect, or not fully figured out.

I see it all the time with clients. 
"Next month will be better."
"I don’t know how to start."
"I’m not experienced enough to pull that off."

Here is the truth. 
You are ready. Right now.
Clarity comes through movement forward. 

Try this instead:

  • Pick the smallest next step that moves you forward. Not the final step. Not the grand finale. Do the next right thing.

  • Give yourself permission to revise as you go. You probably will have to make edits. That is normal. 

  • Redefine progress as action taken, not perfection achieved.

What is the perfect plan? 
It’s the one you’re willing to follow with heart and the humility to try.

Which means the perfect plan might be the one you already have.

So go with it. Start messy. Start now.
