Our journey of life is about progress, not perfection.
It's not about doing one thing 100% better - It's a matter of doing 100 things, 1% better each day. Progress is evolutionary not revolutionary, and most days we measure our progress in inches, not miles. You'll be amazed at how much distance you can cover by taking it in increments.
