Perfection is a target we are usually unable to reach. It is because everyone you meet will have a different idea of what perfection is. Trying often leads to burnout, not brilliance.
Sometimes, “good enough” is more than enough. Did you try? Did you care? That matters more than flawless execution. Resilience means knowing when to stop pushing and start accepting. Your worth does not rest on how perfectly you perform.
It’s okay to release the pressure and rest in what you’ve already done. Be proud of your effort, not just your outcomes. Life isn’t a test—it’s a journey. And showing up, even imperfectly, is a considerable act of courage and strength.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
