We all long for bigger, more, maximum, perfection but there is only one guarantee in human life: imperfection and trying to cope with it in gentle, easy going way (as a principle).
Everyone has to deliver something that is of a certain value. Sometimes those skills are not obvious because we learned to watch out for other values or behaviors.
Step by step, going wrong, learn from it, progress, we can decide to change something every day.
