Many people spend a lot of time trying to be perfect before they start something new or before they share their work with others. But the truth is, perfection is something we can never fully reach. It’s like chasing a shadow that keeps moving. Instead of waiting to be perfect, it’s better to focus on making small steps forward every day. These small improvements add up over time and bring real progress. Progress means you are growing, learning, and getting closer to your goals.

For example, imagine a student learning to play the piano. At first, they might make mistakes and feel frustrated because their music doesn’t sound perfect. But if they practice a little every day, even if their playing isn’t flawless, they will get better and better. Each practice session is progress, even if it’s not perfect. If the student waits to feel perfect before practicing, they might never improve. The key is to keep moving forward.

By choosing progress every day, you create a habit of growth. Success is not about being perfect; it is about making steady progress and learning from mistakes. When you focus on progress, you build confidence and skills. Eventually, success will come naturally because you have put in the effort consistently. So, remember to choose progress over perfection and watch your dreams become real.
