I heard this quote today and it applies to so many areas of life. We often get too focused on trying to be perfect instead of just getting better than we were the previous day.

I learned this while in my teens. I had an older friend to whom I looked to for various direction in my life. Somewhat of a mentor. One day he simply asked me when I thought I would be ready to attempt certain dreams/ goals I had. My flimsy reply was... (I cant remember, but it was certainly not soon). He simply replied and said that:
"If you wait to be ready, you will never be ready". This has had a tremendous and profound effect in my life. Thank you Philip van Niekerk...

Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way...
