You start making progress with your life once you realize that there is no perfect relationship, no perfect draft, no perfect investment, no perfect house, no perfect diet, no perfect city, no perfect job, no perfect choice, no perfect life.

You try, you fail, you "waste" time, you self-reflect, you grow as a person, you do better next time, some people join you along the way, some others leave, and one day, you too will be gone, and no one will even remember that you ever existed, no one will be judging your missteps and detours either, so the sooner you start living truly for yourself, the sooner you will start discovering what life truly has to offer.
