I recently came across a quote from John Steinbeck’s book “East of Eden”. It reads, ‘now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good’. If I read the book before I do not recall. I have since, bought the book. The phrase says so much too much to me. First and foremost,

I did it again. I dropped the ball on something I was working on. I usually am on top of things. But this one slipped through the cracks. I immediately started the personal rant “I should not have this job” “I can’t do anything right” “I always screw things up”. Well, that isn’t exactly true.
