Perfection is a trap dressed up as a standard.
It tells you not to start until everything is flawless.
It whispers, “Don’t post it, don’t share it, don’t move—until it’s perfect.”

But here’s the truth:
You don’t owe anyone perfection.
You owe them persistence.

You owe the world your effort.
Your resilience.
Your bounce back.

No one’s life has ever changed because someone was perfect.
But lives change when someone refuses to quit.

Perfection is sterile.
Persistence? It’s gritty. It’s real. It’s relatable.

Your bounce back isn’t about flawless moves.
It’s about consistent motion.
Showing up on the hard days.
Putting in the reps when no one’s looking.
Taking messy, imperfect, powerful action.

So next time that perfectionist voice kicks in, tell it this:
“I’m not here to be perfect—I’m here to rise. Over and over again.”

That’s the standard now.
Progress. Not perfection.
Bounce back. Not burnout.
