<I invite each of us to expect more of ourselves. Yet as I think about happiness, I keep running up against paradoxes: I want to change myself but I need to accept myself. I want to take myself less seriously, but also more seriously. I want to use my time well, but I really want to wander, to play, to read at whim. I want to think about myself so that I can forget myself. Because I am always on the edge of agitation, I want to let go of envy and anxiety about the future, yet keep my energy and ambition.>
― Gretchen Rubin.
As Voltaire quoted an Italian aphorism,
"Don't let perfection be the enemy of good."
