  Speaker 3: Do you know the answer to this week's trivia question?
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: The question was which US state has the most active volcanoes?
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: The answer is Alaska. Many people assume it's Hawaii, but
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Alaska actually has over one hundred and thirty volcanoes, with
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: more than fifty considered to be active. Now, you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: we often think that if something isn't done perfectly, it's
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: not worth doing. But that mindset holds us back. Real
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: growth comes from small, consistent efforts. The most successful people
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: aren't perfect, they're persistent. They show up, try, fail, adjust,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: and keep moving. Perfection is often an illusion. Progress is real.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Give yourself permission to be a work in progress. Whether
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: it's a goal, a habit, or a relationship. Small steps
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: forward still count over time they can create big results.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: To close this week's episode, here's a quote from writer
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: and artist Julia Cameron. She says perfectionism is not a
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: quest for the best, It's a pursuit for the worst
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: in ourselves, the part that tells us nothing we do
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: will ever be good enough. Yes, keep moving forward. Even
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: imperfect steps lead to somewhere that is beautiful.
