0:01 here's a question for you how many times
0:03 have you held yourself back because you
0:05 didn't feel ready maybe you wanted to
0:06 apply for that job start a passion
0:08 project or even take care of yourself
0:10 better but something stopped you that's
0:12 something it's the belief that you need
0:14 to be perfect to start but here's the
0:17 truth Perfection is the enemy of
0:18 progress you don't need to have it all
0:20 figured out you don't need to be
0:22 Flawless all you need is the courage to
0:25 start right now exactly as you are we
0:27 live in a world where Perfection is
0:30 idolized social media bombards us with
0:32 highlight reels perfect vacations
0:34 perfect bodies perfect relationships and
0:36 it's easy to feel like if you're not
0:38 hitting that level you're failing this
0:40 perfectionism seeps into every part of
0:42 life you start a diet slip up once and
0:44 think what's the point you have a great
0:46 idea for a project but you never begin
0:48 because you're scared it won't turn out
0:50 the way you imagine it's paralyzing
0:52 you're stuck in this endless loop of
0:54 waiting for the perfect moment the
0:57 perfect plan or the perfect version of
0:59 yourself and in the process you lose
1:02 time opportunities and most importantly
1:04 confidence Perfection is a myth even the
1:06 people you admire the ones who seem to
1:08 have it all together are not perfect
1:10 they struggle they fail and they still
1:13 move forward and you can too so how do
1:15 you escape this perfectionism trap and
1:17 start making progress it's simple
1:20 progress beats Perfection every single
1:22 time let's break this down into Three
1:25 Steps step one start before you're ready
1:27 you've probably told yourself I'll start
1:28 when I'm ready but here's the secret
1:31 you'll never feel feel fully ready and
1:32 that's okay the perfect time doesn't
1:35 exist take action even if it's messy
1:37 want to get fit start with a 10-minute
1:38 workout today it doesn't have to be a
1:41 perfect routine want to start a business
1:43 take one small step like researching
1:45 ideas or drafting your first plan don't
1:47 wait for everything to align perfectly
1:50 just begin progress isn't about leaps
1:52 it's about steps and every step you take
1:54 no matter how small gets you closer to
1:56 where you want to be step two focus on
1:58 consistency over Perfection showing up
2:00 consistently Beats doing something
2:02 perfectly every time think about it you
2:04 could wait for the perfect conditions to
2:06 start journaling or you could just write
2:08 one sentence a day you could wait for
2:09 the ideal moment to hit the gym or you
2:11 could do a quick workout at home it's
2:13 not about being perfect it's about
2:15 building habits habits create momentum
2:17 and momentum leads to transformation
2:20 step three fail forward and learn fast
2:23 let's talk about failure most of us are
2:24 terrified of it but failure is not the
2:27 opposite of success it's part of the
2:29 process think of failure as feedback
2:31 it's like a GPS recalculating your
2:33 routee each mistake teaches you what
2:35 doesn't work imagine learning to ride a
2:38 bike you fall you scrape your knee but
2:40 you don't give up why because every fall
2:42 teaches you how to balance better life
2:44 is no different mistakes aren't the end
2:46 they're the beginning of growth the
2:48 people who achieve their goals aren't
2:49 the ones who get everything right
2:51 they're the ones who keep going despite
2:53 their mistakes you don't need to be
2:54 perfect to make progress you just need
2:57 to be willing to try to fail and to get
3:00 back up every imperfect action you take
3:01 moves you closer to your goals
3:04 Perfection is overrated progress is what
3:06 matters the Messier the better because
3:08 the mess is where growth happens so the
3:09 only thing standing between you and
3:12 progress is the decision to start start
3:14 today take one small step toward your
3:16 goal just begin but you can't do this if
3:18 laziness is holding you back so watch
