Progress not Perfection

I don’t know about you but in the past,I have set myself ridiculously unrealistic goals.

 I start with a flurry of enthusiasm that might last a week or two at the most, only to then give up and feel like an absolute failure.

Having learnt the hard way, I now try to be a little more realistic with my goal setting whilst still pushing myself out of my comfort zone. 

Looking back, I realize that even though I didn’t achieve my early goals all was not lost.  I did achieve something.  I made some progress towards my goal.  I became stronger and gained ground in that area.

Now, rather than focus on being perfect at achieving my target, I focus on the progress I am making. 

I congratulate myself on what I have achieved which encourages me to keep going and keep trying because what matters most is the progress I make, not the perfection I achieve!

I am currently making "progress" towards my goal of writing a blog each week.  Yayyy!

  What are you making progress on?
