About this episode
Your Daily Dose of Hope - Fresh Start Mindset Series We've traveled together this week, from embracing beginner's mind to taking small steps, learning from setbacks, and building community. Today, I want to talk about something that ties it all together: celebrating progress over perfection. Because here's the truth nobody talks about enough, perfect is not just impossible, it's the enemy of everything we've been building this week. Perfect doesn't ask curious questions, it already knows everything. Perfect doesn't take small steps, it waits for the giant leap. Perfect doesn't learn from setbacks, it sees them as proof of failure. Perfect doesn't need community. it must look flawless all alone. I used to think "having it all figured out" was the goal. I thought once I reached some magical level of put-togetherness, then I could relax, then I could be happy, then my life would really begin. What a waste of beautiful, messy, imperfect days that was.
