Focus on progress, not perfection from "summary" of Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath
It's easy to get caught up in the pursuit of perfection. We often set impossibly high standards for ourselves and strive to meet them at all costs. But the truth is, perfection is an elusive goal that can never truly be attained. Instead of focusing on achieving perfection, it's more important to focus on making progress. Progress is something that can be measured and celebrated, no matter how small it may seem. By shifting our mindset from perfection to progress, we free ourselves from the constraints of unrealistic expectations. We allow ourselves to be human, to make mistakes, and to learn from them. Progress is about continuous improvement, about moving forward one step at a time. It's about acknowledging where we are and where we want to go, and taking the necessary steps to get there. When we focus on progress, we are able to see the bigger picture. We understand that growth takes time and effort, and that it's okay to stumble along the way. Progress is about the journey, not just the destination. It's about learning and growing, about becoming the best version of ourselves. Perfectionism can be paralyzing, causing us to fear failure and avoid taking risks. But when we focus on progress, we embrace the challenges that come our way. We see setbacks as opportunities for growth, not reasons to give up. Progress is about resilience, about bouncing back from adversity and coming back stronger than before.- Focusing on progress allows us to live more fulfilling and meaningful lives. It enables us to appreciate the small victories and milestones along the way. It empowers us to keep moving forward, no matter what obstacles may come our way. Progress is the key to success, and by embracing it, we can achieve our goals and dreams.
