Progress, not perfection

Perfection is so overrated. Striving for perfection is almost like taking a route with no destination.
Aiming for progress is the road towards improvement. With progress, there is room for all kind of experiences. We start where we are instead of waiting for the right time. 

Life is short. It is worth spending by becoming better every day- learning something new, making this world a better place, discovering new things. I believe all we have to do is taking actions that will benefit us in the long term. Do those actions consistently, the best you can. For example if you want to write a book, aim to write everyday. The daily actions that we do repeatedly ultimately determine who we are and become.

Tiny steps

I admit, I lost track again. It's alright. We all do. Things happen. Stumbles are part of the journey. To get back to life, take tiny steps. 1 single action. The key is it doesn't have to be huge, only enough to get you started again.

Consistency

You've got to be consistent in whatever you do. To improve, learn, and be successful, you've got to be committed and consistently do what you must, in order to move in the direction of your dreams. Consistency will determine the value of your determination and how far you will get. Of course, it's not an easy task- to stay focus and not lose faith. Hang in there, 0.1% improvement is always better than zero. Over time it compounds and leads to unexpected results. Be driven by the system, by the action, by what it takes. Persevere and be consistent. 

Gratitude

As this year comes to a close, I believe the most rewarding action to take is to list down all the things you are grateful for. It will be a gateway to reflect on all that happened during the year. It'll be an opportunity to unwind and see all the blessings you received. Sometimes what appears to be challenging and undesirable turned out to be a learning curve.  This is the time to be reminded of all the lessons learnt. Life has so much to teach us, but all lessons are learnt within and kept inside. Be aware that we have all that we need at any given time. I'm grateful for 2017 and all that it came with. Count your blessings.
