Auntie B's Wax 
I suppose not settling for “good enough” keeps us motivated, but at some point we have to rest. I sometimes think that we push ourselves so much that we fail to savor what we are going (because we are so focused on the next thing).
Yep, you pretty much nailed it. All we can do is the best we can and quit being too hard on ourselves if we don’t measure up to are exceedingly high standards. That’s the best I can do, at least.
