     When we plan to accomplish a goal, whether it is in business, learning to play a new sport, developing a talent or fixing a personality trait there is a tendency to look at the ideal result and measure oneself against that perfect result. The problem with this approach is that it leads one to make statements like, “I’ll never be the piano player I dream to be.”


     Growth in any area of life is not constant. Every learning curve shows ups and downs. Life isn’t much different from the stock market—some days you win and some days you lose. What is important at the end of the day is that the cumulative result of all the wins and losses shows an overall gain. Instead of looking at a small failure as the “proof” that one will never achieve perfection it is much wiser to do a “progress report” from time to time.     
    One who looks back to their abilities at the start of a self-improvement project will realize that although perfection may be something one really may never achieve, progress is made every day and one improves daily simply by pursuing perfection—even if it can never be totally achieved.

When you hit a setback don’t let a drop become a mountain blocking your road to perfection. Instead compare where you are today as compared to that raw imperfect being you were when you began the climb to your goal. You will find that the daily pursuit of perfection brings overall improvement and regular growth. Don’t ever let a bad day stop your climb.

 


CONSIDER THIS FOR A MINUTE


People are born as babies, because their characters have to be developed in stages before they can become adults…The process starts in the cradle and continues for the rest of his life.
