#249 You already know what I’m going to say

What would you finally dare to do today
if you knew whatever you try will never be perfect anyway?

Publish a story with typos and awkward sentences?
Run a marathon without finishing it?
Play a guitar piece and trip up five times?
Sing in front of other people and miss a note?
Try a new yoga pose in class and fall over?

Nothing will be perfect today.
Nothing will be perfect tomorrow.

But if you take imperfect action
and dare to publish imperfect work
everything you do will have the perfect taste of progress and consistency.

And that’s all that counts anyway.

There’s nothing wrong with chasing quick wins, as long as you define them well.

Because the first quick wins are usually internal and invisible.

Only when you’ve won some battles against the inner critic who wants you to give up do the external quick wins kick in.

And that’s how it’s supposed to be.

You may want to be a published, acclaimed author, or an online writer with a massive audience. But today, all you have to do is write.

You may want to be the best marathon runner in your country. But today, all you have to do is go for one run.

Whatever lofty vision you have for yourself, today, all you have to do is take one tiny step, one Tiny Trust Builder moving you closer to the person you want to be.
