Progress, Not Perfection
Hey Jessapians

I'ts a new day and time for some new dollars, posting my thoughts online exchange for a few satoshis worth of a digital currency we don't know will be around in the future. That's the stark reality of life right now, sadly we can't all live the Tony Stark life am I right?

We're always looking to achieve certain goals putting life on hold for that moment where we reach our full potential in life. This could be the ideal job, financial freedom, a wife, kids, success in sports, to travel and see the world whatever your motivations may be or goals may be a lot of people see it as an end instead of what it is, just another day, another step.

When you finally get that promotion, board that plane, have all the money you need, do you think it will any different than the days before? Highly unlikely, you would have just attached a meaning towards that day like you've done your birthday.

## Curate each day not moments

If you're waiting for this moment of success you're basically putting your life on hold, there is no perfect moment, there is no montage to success, this isn't an 80s movie. You simply have to take it day by day

* Are you, fitter, then you were yesterday?
* Are you smarter than you were yesterday?
* Are you richer than you were yesterday?
* Have you seen more places than you did yesterday?

Look to make small steps of progress each day and when you look back you'll see how far you come. Life is like interest your efforts compound over time and when you commit to something you put a little bit of your effort and lock it away as an investment in something you value. 

I only say this because I too just want to reach my goals, thinking if I work harder I will expedite the process but It doesn't work that way, being consistent compounds way more than committing for a year or 2. Those who reach their goals are the ones who are the most unrelenting. It's ok to fail, take a step back, breathe, rest but don't give up, stay the course and you'll be rewarded. 

## Have your say

Do you feel you're making progress?

Holla at me in the comments! All my commenters I will now refer to as Jessie. Jessie is a good friend of mine, but Jessies got a girl, and I want to make her mine. 

So have at it my Jessies! If you don't have something to comment, simply comment "I am a Jessie."
