Perfection looks neat, polished, and flawless—but it often keeps us stuck. Consistency, on the other hand, may look messy, uneven, and imperfect—but it leads to progress.

On the right, another person keeps stacking, block after block, imperfect but steady. The tower may wobble, but it grows taller. T

This empowering artwork from linesbydp beautifully illustrates two mindsets in one frame. On the left, a figure crumbles under the weight of stacked problems—failure, doubt, effort. On the right, another stands tall and victorious, having used those very same blocks as steps to rise.
