‘So many of us struggle with perfectionism. It is rooted in fear and can lead to procrastination. Instead of being a perfectionist, focus on excellence—learning in the journey—the process of making something good and then great. Perfectionism is elusive, it is a state that you can never reach. If you choose excellence over perfectionism, you are choosing progress over perfection.’ (J.Maxwell) This is a lesson I learned some 10 years ago, my manager told me if I wait for perfection I’ll never achieve anything. Join me in focusing on excellence instead.

Brave: Idea #222
Do you ever find yourself worrying about the future? Scared about what might happen? Do you ever wonder why others appear so unafraid? ‘”Fearless” is a myth. Instead aim to be brave. People who succeed at the highest levels have the same amount of fear as everyone else, but they have learned to be courageous in the face of fear. Stretch out of your comfort zone and aim to be brave!’ (J.Maxwell) It’s OK to be afraid, not sure how to handle what’s in your future. Join me in being brave and courageous by tackling whatever comes our way with enthusiasm.
