We made it through the first week of daily blogs 😎
Today I'm cheating a little bit; I started writing this post quite a while ago but never finished which is extremely ironic but I think the concept is appropriate given the proximity of my graduation and everything else going on. I don't really know who is reading these posts but if you're also a student, this post might be especially relatable. If you're not a student, I reckon it'll be relatable as well :)
Here's what I wrote a few months ago:
Cheesily written on my whiteboard beneath a list of items to seek out at thrift stores is, "Perfect = enemy of good". On the rare occasion that I live by this mantra, I feel its truth deeply. Its really quite simple but so difficult for my arrogant mind to embrace. I hold myself to high expectations like, study for an hour, or bike 20 miles, or do 200 push ups, and I inevitably fail. All it takes is a change in expectations -- study for 5 minutes, bike 5 miles, do 5 push ups -- for success to be inevitable. Not only is success inevitable, overachieving is almost guaranteed.
Now back to today: It's funny, I've also heard this saying the other way around (good is the enemy of great/perfect). It's just another example of how confusing life is! We're constantly being inundated with information and advice, often against our will and without our conscious awareness. We read blogs (😅) and articles to try to educate or motivate ourselves and every other one is selling the next big thing that'll make you happy, healthy, and sexy forever. So how do we manage this?
