My striving to be better than I was before will be (and has been) a never-ending struggle for me most of my life. As much as perfection is just out of reach, it is certainly something I still attempt. I constantly challenge myself to find ways to have done something different, usually better, than what it really turned out. By doing this, I never stop to think about what I did accomplish and be proud of that feat. I shy away from people saying they are proud of me, and think to myself, it wasn’t good enough for my standards. When will it ever be enough? Still something I need to work on. Keep trying…we will get there together.
