RE: There is neither need nor necessity to wallow in the trough of mediocrity!
It's a difficult thing to do, to balance what you can do with what you can really do... (or should do)
Mediocrity is definitely a huge problem in our world around us - but so is the drive for perfectionism!
Do the best you can do, but also be willing to accept that your best might not be someone else's best... or that your best today might be less than your best a year ago... or that you need to place a higher priority on something else to apply your best to!
You are absolutely correct! Mediocrity and perfectionism are both curses; an individual's best is somewhere in between I think :)
I suspect you are right.
I was also realizing earlier that perfectionism is actually (sometimes, anyway) a form of arrogance - the idea that what you think is right/best for you is higher than other people's... but that's being, perhaps, too cynical...
You might be on to something there...and yes, a little cynical too haha
