Perfect outcome

You study, plan, organize and prepare so it will all be perfect. But it won’t be completely perfect.

It will unfold the way it unfolds, which will never be as perfectly as you envision. And that’s perfectly okay.

There’s nothing wrong with thoughtful consideration and careful, thorough preparation. Except when there is, when it significantly delays or prevents you from ever taking action.

If you refuse to act unless you’re guaranteed a perfect outcome, you won’t be doing much of anything. Much of the richness that could have filled your world will never be.

If you insist on being assured beforehand of a perfect experience, you’ve already lost. You’ve denied yourself the value of actually living that experience, and replaced it with a hollow fantasy.

Work to get it right, to get it excellent, but not so obsessively that you never get it done. Give it your best, and confidently allow life to happen as it will.

— Ralph Marston
