So many people fail to achieve their goals because they’re more concerned about doing things perfectly than doing them repeatedly.

Instead of trying to avoid mistakes, fail with grace and make being consistent your biggest brag. You don’t have to be perfect in being consistent, by the way. You can slip off your good habits sometimes. What matters is that you know how to bounce back. Most great achievements in life don’t require you to be perfect. They just require you to be better than the average and consistent. You might also like these 👇
