Is It Enough?

This is the best I can do today. Is it enough?

I don’t know an artist who doesn’t ask this question, every time they practice their art.

Well, they’re more likely to skip the question and jump to the answer: it’s not good enough.

Actually, they’re likely to not say “it’s not good enough” but say “I’m not good enough.”

So.

Step One: when you say, “I’m not good enough,” rewind all the way to the question you skipped.

Step Two: Answer yes. The best you can do today, whatever it is, is enough. Tomorrow you’ll do more.

A year from now, the best you can do will be a lot better. That doesn’t mean it’s not enough today. Keep doing the work, keep practicing and growing, and keep remembering that wherever you are now, it’s enough.
