My New Mantra

We are all busy people. If you, my fine readers, are anything like me you take on too much. You like to be busy. You like to run from thing to thing to thing...or maybe it's just what you do.

In a meeting yesterday with my career coach, she provided me with my new Manta. She told me that 95% is ok...that sometimes we don't have time for 100%.


Very good is good enough

I need to strive not for perfection, but rather for good enough. I need to let go of the idea that the only way for things to be done is perfect. I need to believe that 95% is the very best and accept that there are not enough hours in the day for 100%. I need to remind myself of this when I get overwhelmed with school, and work, and life. I need to remind myself that no one is really perfect. Even me...
