Perfection is an illusion because it is subjective. What one person deems perfect another person may deem flawed. Whilst aiming for perfection can be a commendable trait, the real key to success is perseverance and the ability to keep going in spite of whatever setbacks you may face. 

Everyone will at some time, or another, have occasions when things do not go to plan. When they do, it will be your ability to persevere and continue in the face of adversity that will be the true sign of how successful you can and will be. 

The key to achieving success is to keep working toward your goal no matter how many setbacks and obstacles you encounter, no matter how many times you fall off the wagon. Keep moving forward. And because you are striving toward your goal, if you have to take a step backward from time to time, you will already have taken two steps forward and be much closer to your goal.  

However, there Is a caveat; if you feel like you are constantly hitting the same obstacles, take some time to reflect on why you are and if there is a different approach you can take to overcome them. 

So, my 24thlesson is: Perseverance, not perfection is the key.
