Choose progress over perfection from "summary" of Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis
Listen. I get it. We all want to be perfect. We want to have everything together, all the time. We want to look flawless, act flawlessly, be flawless. But here's the thing: perfection is a myth. It's an unattainable goal that will only leave you feeling inadequate and frustrated. The truth is, progress is what really matters. It's about taking small steps every day towards your goals, even if you stumble along the way. It's about learning from your mistakes, growing from your failures, and never giving up, no matter how many times you fall down. When you focus on progress over perfection, you give yourself permission to be imperfect. You allow yourself to be human, to make mistakes, to learn and grow and evolve. You stop holding yourself to impossible standards and start embracing your journey, flaws and all. So, the next time you feel like you're not good enough, like you'll never measure up, remember this: perfection is overrated. It's progress that truly matters. It's the small steps, the little victories, the moments of growth and transformation that make all the difference in the end. Choose progress over perfection, and watch how your life changes for the better.
