Magical Thinking - Perfection is highly desirable. But nothing ....

Perfection is highly desirable. 

But nothing manmade or man-designed is, or can be, absolutely perfect.

So to wait for the perfect set of conditions, is to wait forever

The test of a successful person, is not on ability to eliminate all problems before they arise, but to meet and work out difficulties when they do arise.

We must be willing to make an intelligent compromise with perfection, lest(incase) we wait forever before taking action.

In every big decision, the mind battles with itself-to act or not to act, to do or not to do

Here are two things to do to help you avoid the costly mistake of waiting, until conditions are perfect before you act:

1. Expect future obstacles and difficulties. Every venture presents risks, problems, and uncertainties.

Let's suppose you wanted to drive your car from Chicago to Los Angeles, but you insisted on waiting until you had absolute assurance that there would be

• no detours (deviation),
• no motor trouble,
• no bad weather,
• no drunken drivers,
• no risk of any kind.

When would you start? Never!

In planning your trip to Los Angeles it makes sense to map your route, check your car, in other ways to eliminate as much risk as possible before you start.

But you can't eliminate all risks.

2. Meet problems and obstacles as they arise.

The test of a successful person, is not the ability to eliminate all problems before he takes action, but rather, the ability to find solutions to difficulties, when he encounters them.

In business, marriage, or in any activity, cross bridges when you come to them, We can't buy an insurance policy against all problems
