Perfection Can Block Your Progress - Rabbi YY Jacobson

There's two philosophies in life. >> [music] >> One philosophy in life is toyif. I want things to be good. I'm going to try. I'm going to put in my effort. I want to be successful, and I want to do things right. I hope that this video my own video comes out toyif. But then there's another philosophy in life, toyif [music] m'oit. It has to be perfect, excessively good, infinitely good, impeccable, flawless. You know what happens then? Malach m'oves us. That literally kills every dream. It kills every plan. Perfection, they say, is the enemy of progress. If you want things [music] to be toyif, that's great. That's malachian. That's the way to live. That's going to invite life and productivity,
