Judging the bar

Maybe in some instances the bar is much lower than we think.

Maybe our hesitation — the one that’s born of fear — is unnecessary.

Maybe the expectation is reasonable. Or even low.

That our normal effort is good enough. Even beyond good enough.

That showing up now — as-is — is what’s important. More important than showing up a little later and a little better.

Sometimes we need to stop polishing, planning, and procrastinating.

Sometimes we need to go with what we’ve got because now is the time.

Not later.

Now.
