• Live-action is never as good a rehearsal, no matter how much you prepare. Be content to be as good as you can be at this moment while still trying to get a little bit better for next time.

• You want to strive for continuous improvement while acknowledging that perfection is unattainable. This mindset is reflected in various perspectives:

• Don’t wait for everything to be perfect to start taking action. Creation is sometimes messy. Its important to takw the first step, even with imperfections, rather than waiting for ideal conditions.

• Don’t let fear hold you back. You’ll always find reasons to wait. Take action and make progress, rather than waiting for the “iron to be hot”.

• Take action despite imperfections.
