Imperfect

A Chinese proverb says "Do something imperfectly, rather than nothing perfectly".
Isn't it amazing how we can 'sit on' ideas and be frozen in action because we do not feel what we have is perfect yet.
There are many things we do have to get right, and skills we need to aquire, but we will never have everything perfectly in order to start. A perfect start just doesn't exist. The best have started without any idea where they were headed but started anyway.
Take action and begin to move with what you have in your hand today. I mean wasn't that Moses excuse to the Lord when he was being sent to the Egypt.
Wherever you are sitting today, under whatever conditions, do not let the wall of perfectionism stop you from starting.
Do your reseach, develop a plan, make a decision, and then begin, begin, begin...
Opportunity never is lost. It always passes on to someone else.
