Waiting for the timing to be just right often holds us back from making progress towards our goals. Stop aiming for perfection and take a step outside of your comfort zone towards achieving your dreams!
We’ve finally reached our halfway point of 21 Ways to Step Outside of Your Comfort Zone. In the last edition, we took a step into visualization and that being in a scary or uncomfortable situation can lead you outside of your comfort zone for the better. If you got through that step, this week’s step is to stop aiming for perfection.
Given the fact that most of us may be perfectionists, I’ve learned a great deal from working with major projects and deadlines. You can never be too perfect, or else you will constantly stay in one place. Learn to let yourself go a little, get messy, then focus on cleaning up the rest later. This all ties in with progress = triumph, and you’ll be much happier with the results.
Stop Aiming for Perfection
Start practicing this mantra: Ready, Fire, Aim! If you are waiting for the perfect time to write your book, launch your business, get in shape, or achieve some other major goal in your life, forget waiting, and take action. You can constantly review your progress and tweak for better results as you step further and further out of your comfortable surroundings on your way to exciting new triumphs.

I like your mantra. I’m not a perfectionist except in writing. I go over and over and over my writing a zillion times, making me a very slow writer. It reflects who I am once it’s published so I drive myself absolutely crazy poring over every word!
Ready, fire, aim. Yup. I’ll definitely be giving that a try!
Great post! I’m with Cathy. I fret a bit over what I write although I write freely on the first draft and fret over the editing part. Maybe in 20 years I will get better at that, too!
