“It is true that we shall not be able to reach perfection, but in our struggle toward it we shall strengthen our characters and give stability to our ideas, so that, whilst ever advancing calmly in the same direction, we shall be rendered capable of applying the faculties with which we have been gifted to the best possible account.”
~Confucius~

Perfection is attainable! Its just not sustainable. We can go out and perform certain activities perfectly today. Perhaps its a perfect sales call where you end up with an order from the prospect you have been dying to do business with. Maybe its the perfect conversation with your boss that leads to the implementation of one of your ideas within a major company initiative or better yet a raise. Maybe it is simply taking 10 minutes to write out your perfect daily agenda of the most important results you can create today. Whatever it is, you can do something perfectly.

And lets just say you don’t achieve perfection in this activity. Won’t your results be better than if you just looked to do things regularly? There is something about striving for perfection that brings out the best in us. Or as Les Brown says “Shoot for the moon and even if you miss you will land among the stars”.

So in what activity will you strive for perfection today?
