Summary: Walt raised a question about “doing our best”. Cindie offered that she thinks we’re always doing our best. Both Cindie and Jacqui emphasized the importance of doing what’s good enough so that we don’t beat ourselves up about doing our best. Walt took the counterpoint. He agreed that we are best served when we avoid being too tough on ourselves. By the same token, we also can overdo it in the other direction by settling for a less than satisfactory job. Then Jacqui hit upon the key point, and Walt picked up on it. It’s that we need to redefine what we mean by “our best”. We need to change it to, “what feels best to us,” thereby taking the external judgment factor away. What we’re left with is always aiming for what feels best. In doing what feels best, we end up doing what is our truly best work from an internal perspective instead of an external perspective. Great discussion!
