Good enough is very good.
Somewhere along the way, we bought into
100% or bust.
Perfect or pointless.
Flawless or forget it.
If it’s not exactly how we imagined, we’re ready to scrap the whole thing and search for a better version.
A better relationship.
A better job.
A better body.
A better home.
A better life.
All because of a missing 20%.
One habit.
One comment.
One tiny detail.
Cue the mind.
Magnifying glass out.
That 80% is working quietly in the background doing the heavy lifting.
The 20% centre stage – getting undeserved attention.
The Reframe
What if 80% is the win?
What if instead of obsessing over what’s missing,
you noticed what’s already rocking it.
Warmth in the relationship.
Income coming in.
A roof overhead.
A body that breathes and moves.
A life that supports you.
Keep poking the 20% and it doesn’t improve.
It just gets louder and more annoying.
Simple truth
What you focus on grows.
What you appreciate expands.
Give attention to the 80%
and it naturally rises.

Last Cue
