Progress Over Perfection
Good morning IG/Hoopers! We’re at the half way mark of our week and I hope it’s going well. I know we’ve been setting goals for ourselves and it’s really easy to get wrapped up in them. It’s really easy to say that you want to improve your 3 point shot, get obsessed with it, and then go on a mission to NEVER miss a 3 pointer again. It’s really easy to say that you want to become a better defender, get obsessed with your goal, and then feel bad because somebody scored on you. But here’s the thing… progress is achievable. You can do a lot with progress. Perfection, that’s something that cannot be attained. Don’t get so obsessed with your desires to be great that you start to become unrealistic in your mentality.
Remember this… some of the goals that we set will grow us tremendously throughout the process of achieving them. Once we reach our goals, well, we can check that off the list. But in the process of reaching our goals, as we’re progressing, we’re still growing! So let’s strive for progress, and let go of the idea of perfection.
