The hateful phrase “good enough” always feels like a cop-out to someone who strives for perfection in all aspects of her life, but I’m learning to live with it during what has been a very difficult year. Knowing I wouldn’t achieve a perfect Thanksgiving dinner, even if I tried, my goal shifted to something far more important: spending time with my dad.
This week’s post, part book review and part New Year’s resolution, is more self-serving and introspective than my usual topics because I am using it to examine an upcoming career change. I hope that there is something useful in here for you, be it a good book recommendation, an approach to setting intentions for big life changes, or even a frank discussion around impostor syndrome.
