Let's face you have to be world class and almost "perfect" to make it to the olympics and one bad race doesn't mean you aren't amazing every other time and amazing for having a bad day and still getting out there!

Reminds me of the old 80/20 rule. What I would add, is that excellence relates to performance - which is made of of quality AND quantity of work. If you make everything perfect but get little done then that is not excellence, and vice versa. A great tip is to set aside an amount of time to do something and when that time limit runs out, assume its finished. It takes a bit of tweaking, but eventually you will work on something for as long as it needs then move on to the next task. Mark I like it. Reminds me of the old 80/20 rule.

My biggest issue is that I can't stand screwing up. I'm always much harder on myself than anyone else would ever be. I'm definitely trying to work on this, and your blog helps me a lot.
