Perfect is a trap.

Here’s the truth I keep coming back to lately:

Perfect is a trap!

I read The Psychology of Money, and one idea punched me right in the face in the best way. You do not need perfect decisions. You need decisions that are reasonable enough.

That mindset has helped me move forward faster than almost any tactic or spreadsheet ever has.

Reasonable enough means the numbers work. The downside is survivable. The upside moves you closer to the life you want. It is not flawless. It is not optimized to the tenth decimal place. It is good enough to act.

For recovering perfectionists (like me), this is everything.

Analysis paralysis feels productive. It feels responsible. It feels smart. But most of the time, it is just fear wearing a clever outfit.

Waiting for perfect clarity keeps you stuck exactly where you are.

Reasonable enough gives you permission to move. To place the offer. To launch the thing. To have the conversation. To invest before you feel 100 percent ready.

Progress compounds. Indecision does not.

Some of my best outcomes came from decisions that were not perfect on paper but were aligned with my long-term goals and values. I learned. I adjusted. I kept going.

Momentum beats mastery every single time.

If you are waiting for certainty, you might be waiting forever.

Reasonable enough is how you build confidence, freedom, and a life that actually moves forward.

What decision could you make if you were just reasonable enough?
