Perfect is Actually Progress

In the strive to be perfect, those perfectionists out there, need to understand that perfect is not an outcome. Perfect is actually just making progress. Think about it. Is there any end to possibility? Is there any end to the Universe? Is there any end to limitless potential? If things go on forever, there can never be an end state and there can never be a beginning. So you will never be perfect, you can only be regressing or progressing. So the only kind of perfection that we can really achieve is the perfection of progress. If you are moving forward, with incremental improvements then you are progressing and are therefore perfect. So be perfect. Got it?
