leaving well enough alone

I am a big believer in getting it right.  Doing it right.  Doing a thing with excellence.  Doing it to the best of your ability.  Fulfilling one's potential.

[can you hear my guilt laden, repressive upbringing shining through?]

As much as excellence is a good thing, and something worth pursuing, sometimes there is something to be said for leaving well enough alone.  Sometimes if you pick at a small thing, it will only get worse and the thing that you were trying to improve will instead become less.

There is a thought for me, in the pursuit of excellence, you can actually chase something so hard that you end up breaking more things than fixing them.

Relax.  Its good.  It is certainly much better than it used to be.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
