It's wonderful how encouraging your videos are.

I've never regretted doing my absolute best. And I would never "phone it in." Been there, done that. Didn't feel good. Didn't work for me.

But I've found I have to pick my battles, know when to try for maximum quality, or...when 95% works just as well. "Awfully damned good" is sometimes better than perfect when I need to get a lot of things done. That last 5% can really cost me, so I have to decide when it's actually worth it!

Setting high standards for oneself really helps one aim higher doesn't it? :-) If we feel we deserve better and could do better, tnen we end up making certain adjustments and improvements that would help us reach the higher goals we've set.

Love the encouraging word. When you set high standards for yourself, the ripple extends far past your own self and into the sphere of all you come in contact with.
