(progress not perfection)

Facing a sea of infinity, it's easy to despair, sure that you will never reach dry land, never have the sense of accomplishment of saying, "I'm done." At the same time, to be finished, done, complete--this is a bit like being dead. The silence and the feeling that maybe that's all. …the challenge is to level set, to be comfo r tab le w i th the undone, with the cycle of never-ending…Today, we're never finished, and that's okay. - Seth Godin
