You want to be perfect
before you get on that stage?

then you’re not going to get anything done,
because success has nothing to do with perfection.

Your best may not be good enough now,
it doesn’t have to be, you just have to start now,

the world is so forgiving,
they will assemble when you ring the bells that still can ring,

they will show understanding when you make mistakes.

They will give you another chance, to try again,
and they will see the light in you through the cracks in your play,

but they will stick around till you become the star,
but first, you must dare to try now.

“Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.” – Leonard Cohen
