“Perfection is hard. Really hard.”

I disagree. In my opinion, it is not perfection that is hard but rather the surrender to perfection. Perfection is ubiquitous. Perfection is everywhere we look. It is our resistance to surrender that creates difficulty and makes things “hard.”

“And the only way to accelerate learning is to minimize friction.”

Once again, I disagree. If there is no friction against your learning then you never question it and it stagnates and you never move beyond what you think is your learning. Friction causes movement and growth and is an important part of the learning process.

“Because consistency ALWAYS beats perfection.

As a matter of fact, perfection is the result of consistency.”

Perfection is not the result of consistency. Perfection already exists. It’s a matter of releasing our consistent conditioned mental patterns in order to see that perfection that already exists. Perfection exists in a world of chaos; the opposite of consistency. Consistency is an attempt to avoid chaos and the beauty and the perfection inherent in that chaos and beauty. We can wake up each morning to a beautiful mountain landscape and see that landscape consistently the same every morning or we can look at it each morning and see something different each morning. Consistency is a plastic bag tied around our heads that we can easily and rapidly suffocate in.

That is not beauty and it certainly is not perfection. The second we try to define perfection is the second we detach from it. Nothing detaches us from perfection more than consistency. There is nothing less consistent than perfection. Perfection constantly changes faster than we can describe it, own it, or impregnate it into our consistent routines.

“The only thing that matters is to build up momentum.

And to accelerate learning.”

The only way to accelerate learning is to surrender to it and to surrender to whatever momentum that learning is providing. Nothing diminishes learning more than trying to force it. Perfection has nothing to do with quantity. It is all about quality. Momentum is determined by our rate of surrender, not by the consistency of our egoic determination.

Just my whacko opinion…..
