Perfection is the Enemy of the Good.

I have struggled with this idea of Perfection many times in my life and even now when I am writing it. The change today is that I know I am not right about this obsession and I know one needs to have a balance to go through this life with a smile and satisfaction.

To that I say, let's priortize progress over perfection. Let's prioritize iteration. Let's not wait for the RIGHT answer for life is no binary. It is a unreal number where a value of Pi can be 3.14 or 3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41971 69399 37510 58209 74944 59230 78164 06286 20899 86280 34825 34211 7067 

and even that is not perfect. If you gonna wait for the perfect, you pay with progress.
