From March of 2007

Concept of Good
As I was driving to work this morning I was thinking about what it means to me to be good at something. This can mean being a good friend, or being good at my job or anything in between.
I realized that being good at something or being a good anything means to me that I do it perfectly and never imperfectly. That as soon as I do something imperfectly that it or I am not good anymore. So I started to think that this is an unrealistic expectation to have for myself, so what do I need to do to change my idea of good?
Good cannot mean being perfect, good can mean messing up; sometimes royally. I think the important thing is to learn from my errors rather than beat myself up about them.
