Accepting our Best.
We don’t have to do it any better than we can – ever! Do our best for the moment, then let it go. If we have to redo it, we can do our best in another moment, later. We can never do more or better than we are able to do at the moment. We punish ourselves and make ourselves feel crazy by expecting more than our reasonable best for now.
Striving for Excellence.
Striving for excellence is a positive quality. Striving for perfection is self-defeating. Did someone tell us or expect us to do or give more or be more? Did someone always withhold approval?
You are Good Enough so Let it Go.
There comes a time when we feel we have done our best. When that time comes, let it go. There are days when our best is less than we hoped for. Let those times go too. Start over tomorrow. Work things through, until our best becomes better. There is a time for constructive criticism, but if that’s all we give ourselves, we’ll give up. Empowering and complimenting ourselves will not make us lazy. It will nurture us and enable us to give, do, and be our best. – From The Language of Letting Go
