John Steinbeck said, now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good. We all strive for some way of perfection, right? We try to be the best partners, we try to be the best professionals, we try to be the best friends, the best children if we have— or we all have parents— or we all try to be the best parents. But the thing is, there is no such thing as perfect. So now that you don't have to be perfect, maybe just try to be good today.
