“Yet” is a powerful word. It signals change. It embraces possibility.

“I didn’t achieve my goal … yet.”

“I don’t know how … yet.”

But there’s another tag that can be just as powerful: “... and I’m OK with that.”

This other phrase is not about giving up or aiming low. Rather, it’s about being at peace with what is.

While we strive to be our best, we don’t exist to be full-time optimizers, problem-solvers, and growth-mindset adherents.

Sometimes our humble task is to just be OK with the present moment.
