Not Good Enough by Saku Takakusaki
  • Reading time:1 mins read
  • Post category:Positive change
  • Post published:February 26, 2018

Focus on “getting better” at something rather than “being perfect” at something. Instead of tying our self-worth to achievement and seeing ourselves either as a success or a failure, understand that skills, capability and achievement are things we can influence with our beliefs and behaviour.
