Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
Good enough is fine 

Who told us that "good enough" is not good enough? We keep hearing from every direction that standing out now requires you to be perfect and at your best all the time. With eyes constantly on us these days due to technology, and with little privacy, if we aren’t giving 110% to every single email, project, personal goal, conversation, relationship, and even our own personal photos, we are somehow failing. This mindset has turned life into a never-ending uphill climb where the finish line keeps moving. We now spend hours obsessing over tiny details that, in the long run, nobody else will ever notice.
