Perfection is an impossible goal, but progress is always within reach! Progress is the act of moving forward, improving, or developing in some way. It means making steps—big or small—toward a goal, even if you haven’t reached the final result yet. Instead of stressing about getting everything “just right,” focus on learning and growing. Every mistake is a chance to improve, and every small step forward counts.

Why It Matters: When we aim for perfection, we often feel frustrated, anxious, or afraid to try. But when we focus on progress, we build confidence, resilience, and motivation.

Try This:

• Instead of saying, “I’ll never get this,” say, “I’m improving with practice.”
•  Set small, achievable goals instead of aiming for an impossible standard.
•  Celebrate the effort you put in, even if the outcome isn’t perfect.

Challenge: Even small improvements count as progress. As long as you’re moving forward, you’re making progress! This week, focus on taking one small step forward in something you care about!
