You are not here to be perfect. You are meant to grow. Do not aim for perfection but for excellence, something that you can achieve through proper planning, coupled with dedication. Dedicated people do not mind how hard or how long the work is. They know that progress is not automatic. They steadily focus on the small steps they make each day. They understand that success is the everyday ascent because of the small things that are accomplished on time. They are also prepared for the minor setbacks, ready to get back on track by making the right adjustments. They enjoy the journey as they work to reach their destination. They accept the reality that there is no goal worth to reach their destination.
