Wii, wish I could take the credit for it, but I can't. That was my sister, and yep, it was in the context of sports. But it stuck with me and I've found it true in lots of contexts since then.
My D19 is a competitive volleyball player. She would sometimes play it safe so she didn't make an error. Volleyball by nature is a game of errors. She was 13, and my sister pulled her aside and told her that. She's been pretty good about settling for being a really good and smart player ever since.
But since we're all imperfect, it applies elsewhere.
So go settle for being really good. You're already there!
