 It's been my personal experience and observation that in order to be an elite high performer in any industry or craft, you need to be good most of the time, not all of the time. In all of the time mentality requires perfection, which is unrealistic, unattainable, and exhausting. It is rigid and confining. A most of the time mentality provides space and grace for mistakes, flaws, and nuance. It's flexible and forgiving. I truly believe that if I'm at my best most of the time, if I eat, sleep, and move well most of the time, and make sound decisions most of the time, I'll live a productive and fulfilling life.
