This applies to living consciously and proactively as well.

Start living it. Now. Don't expect it to be perfect.
This sounds like good advice to me. Too often we spend all of our time looking for the perfect system and not enough time just doing it. Its like procrastination in a way, in my opinion. We put off something and use imperfection as a reason.
