Be An Adaptation Machine | Tom Bilyeu
Challenge
Instead of resisting change (worrying about failure), we should expect to adapt when change happens (learning from failure, no matter how small). Do you agree with this idea or do you see it differently? Please share in the comments.

Perfectly Imperfect
The definition of perfect is to be absolutely flawless, completely free from defects. You shouldn’t let the way you think of perfection set the bar unnecessarily high and takes your attention away from the areas you should appreciate. The disappointment you may feel from not being perfect can steal your enthusiasm & diminish your effort and focus.
Also, you learn and grow so much through your imperfections that you need to embrace the mistakes that help you move things forward to a more desired result.
So I propose this: Strive to be perfectly imperfect.
The imperfect part gives you permission to make mistakes and get a little messy sometimes when working towards a certain outcome. The perfect part can bring you a sense of confidence that things are going the way they should, even though there are flaws and maybe things to figure out.
When all is said and done, you should pursue excellence and not set your standards so high that you don’t value your contribution and experiences. The path to greatness isn’t fully paved.

WHY STRUGGLE IS A GOOD THING
1. Struggle is better for performance … eventually.
Research shows that people who struggle with a problem on their own before receiving assistance actually perform better than people who haven’t had to struggle — on the second time they encounter a problem.
2. Struggle is a cruel teacher, but a good one.
People learn more when they struggle. You probably hate this as much as I do, but it’s true.
As a career change coach, I most often see people struggling at frustration level when they’re in a new position of leadership, have made a career pivot to a new industry, or are making the shift from traditional corporate work to entrepreneurship. There’s a huge learning curve, and hence often huge initial frustration, in all of those scenarios.
3. Struggle makes you less resistant to trying something new.
The frustration we feel when we struggle with something makes us more open-minded about alternative solutions. Why? Struggle is a form of feedback that says what you’re doing now isn’t working.
Spinning your wheels with a problem and realizing that your attempts to solve it aren’t working forces you to try things you probably wouldn’t try if things were sailing along smoothly. Maybe even things you’ve thought of trying before but didn’t want to.
