Striving for excellence motivates you; striving for perfection is demoralizing.
~ Harriet Braiker
Once you accept the fact that you’re not perfect, then you develop some confidence.
~ Rosalynn Carter
Sometimes… when you hold out for everything, you walk away with nothing.
~ Ally McBeal TV show
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything,
That’s how the light gets in.
~ Leonard Cohen’s “Anthem” lyrics

Oooh, I like Rosalynn Carter’s quote…I’ll have to write that down for me…or maybe I put in the ‘sticky note’ section of my Google home page. Thanks for that!
That Ally McBeal quote is resonating really strongly with me right now!
Dave, that Rosalynn quote is like what you said about “I don’t know” in the previous day’s “Ask Early” post – about confidence.
Grim, hey, I haven’t used ‘sticky notes’ yet – thanks for the tip!
