like many others, there's always a part of me that wants to be the very best, but for now, i personally feel it is good enough to simply be "better". better than before, better than what most people can do, better than what i believe i can be. that's often quite enough for me. it doesn't mean i have no drive or ambition; it simply suggests i've learned to accept that i am human and that i will fail, miserably and often. and i have learned to accept the fact that humans don't always succeed on their first try. as long as i have a small measure of success - in my own eyes as much as the eyes of others - i am pretty contented with life and with all the times that i failed previously. and that's truly enough. i believe that's all we can ask of ourselves, in fact to be "better" more often than being "worse", and to love ourselves even though we are not the best. because there will always be opportunities, and on those occasions, we can strive to be better than before. and honestly, it's such a relief when i take pressures off my back and expect nothing more than to move forward in my life journey. moving forward is better than backward, and another opporutnity is better than none at all. each new step, with each new chance to succeed or fail, is truly better than standing still and doing nothing at all. and i never want to find myself standing still if there's something better to be had.
