I think getting a bit better each day is a good way to achieve excellence without letting the pursuit of perfection get in the way of consistent progress.

The perfect circle, the center of the target, perfection. For me, it has been a long road to learning that there is no such thing in this realm. And yet, everything is perfect. For a long time, I really struggled to start anything challenging,  for fear it would not meet my expectations. I would fail, fall short of perfect. Slowly I am working toward expectations about clear intention and expansion. To do my best and always look to learn from every part of the experience. With this approach I get a lot more done.  And I am happy with the results. Everything feels like are instead of attempting to make something that isn't real.  I still find that I am a bit hard on myself and others at times.
