Really..you're trying to get it perfect?

I have to find the best way before I start

- the Perfection Gap

 

Gaps prohibit results

Thinking forward or backwards; which is most important? There's an argument for the masses!

 

Successful people pause and reflect on what they have already accomplished and how they are capable of accomplishing their dreams and goals. When gaps are noticed between those capabilities and desires, the successful person grows.

 

Successful people spend twice as much on the backwards evaluating forwards as they do thinking about what must be done.

 

Coach John Wooden said, "Things turn out best, for the people who make the best of the way things turn out."

 

I love what Tim Hetzner with Lutheran Church Charities says - "Pursuing a God-given dream is a bumpy ride, as every leader in the Bible found out. And only those who think right succeed. The greatest gap between successful people and unsuccessful people is the thinking gap. This is especially so when it comes to failure. Successful people see failure as a regular part of success, and they get over it. Jonah Salk, the developer of the polio vaccine, said: 'As I look upon the experience of an experimentalist, everything that you do is, in a sense, succeeding. It's telling you what not to do, as well as what to do. Not infrequently, I go into the laboratory, and people would say something didn't work. And I say, "Great, we've made a great discovery!" If you thought it was going to work, and it didn't work, that tells you as much as if it did. So my attitude is not one of pitfalls; my attitude is one of challenges and "what is nature telling me?'' ' Such persistence only comes from right thinking, and it is the hallmark of all successful people. They keep trying, keep learning, and keep moving forward. They win the battle in their minds, and then it overflows into what they do."

To that end.....
