GOOD ENOUGH
The movie we rented
Was only decent
But good enough
To enjoy watching
The car we own
Is seven years old
But good enough
To enjoy our road trips
The roses I pruned
Were not perfectly trimmed
But good enough
To enjoy a sense of satisfaction
Perhaps the feeling of "good enough for me for now" is a core issue all of us face to enjoy our lives. People who are perfectionists often make their lives miserable because the gift they purchase, the task they perform or the car they drive is just not good enough. Something does not allow them to enjoy what they have, what they done or what they have purchased because it could always be better.
(Eric and our fishing guide with "good enough" fish)
Trusting our own judgment and accepting the limitations of our human condition may bring us to a framework of accepting "good enough, for me, for now".
