Good Enough, Seeing Who it is for
Just after my High School graduation in 1990, I learned an incredible lesson from my Grandfather. I can’t remember what I was doing, or even what the circumstance were, but I do remember that for one reason or another I felt I was finished with whatever it was that I was doing, and I said to Grandpa “I’m done, its Good Enough.” He quickly replied in a comical, yet scolding way, “You are right, it is Good Enough. Especially Seeing Who it is For.” Well, I was making something for myself, and when he said that, I realized something that has stuck with me from that moment. If I’ve got the “Good Enough” attitude, It’s because I’m settling. I’m not taking it to the next level because I don’t care enough about who I’m making it for.
Whether I’m doing work for myself, or for someone else I have to work hard to not just make it “Good Enough.”
