I've come to realize over the years that I've adopted the attitude of "good enough". In everything that I do, I reach the point which I've decided is good enough; efforts beyond that point would be too time consuming to be worth the outcome.
But, as of late I've come to realize this is a poor way of thinking about my work. If I am forever pursing this good enough state, how can I ever really produce the best work I can? If I know eventually it will be enough to quit working towards, I won't ever strive for the best I can produce. In light of this, I've decided that in all that I do, when I would normally ask myself, "is this good enough?" instead I will ask, "what can I do to make this better?" I know in the long run this will make both my work better and myself a better person.
