Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Strive for continuous improvement instead of perfection. — Kim Collins
Doing our best is not perfection. We have goals and tasks before us. We work at them and we give them our best shot. That is all we need to do, and we deserve to feel all the self-respect any good man feels.
Some of our goals are big challenges. We can set aside any hopes of achieving them perfectly, but when we look back at what we have already done, we may remember that we have come further than we ever dreamed possible. If we expected perfection of ourselves, it would not help us. In fact, it would only get in the way of our work.
Today, I give my best to the work that is before me. I will ask nothing more of myself.
