Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly.

There’s an old saying that “perfection is the enemy of progress” and it’s never been truer than in today’s world. Too often, we put too much pressure on ourselves to get everything perfect from the outset, instead of just starting something and working towards making it better.

If we wait for perfection before taking action, chances are nothing will ever happen. By the time we reach what we deem to be a state of perfection, the opportunity may have already passed us by. This is why it’s always better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly.

Imperfect action allows us to learn as we go. We can experiment with different approaches and find out what works and what doesn’t without worrying about having all the answers at once. We can adjust our strategy based on our results, taking advantage of opportunities along the way while minimizing risks associated with waiting until something is absolutely perfect before moving forward.

Ultimately, embracing imperfection is key to progress and success. Instead of seeking perfection right away, start by taking imperfect action in order to create momentum. After all, even tiny steps in the right direction will eventually get you where you want to be.
