Perfection is not the goal

Surviving the trump administration, A Daily Thread. Episode 18: Perfection is not the goal

I wrote yesterday about how my posts/blog logistics are a work in progress. This applies broadly! We don’t have to wait until we have a perfect plan in order to take action. In fact, we need to take action DESPITE not having a perfect plan, perhaps especially now.

So, if you’ve got a vague sense of wanting to make your life a little brighter, or your situation a little different, or the tiniest inkling of offering SOMETHING to the people or the world around you, DO IT. TRY SOMETHING. It doesn’t matter if you can’t see the finished product when you start, or if you don’t quite know HOW your action will fit into a bigger picture. It doesn’t matter if it isn’t perfect. It doesn’t even matter if it falls flat in a flaming failure. The action, the offering, and the learning and growth that will come even from failure are worthwhile.

The world needs us. We need each other. We all have something to offer, even if we don’t exactly know what or how.
