I saw this quote recently – “You’re not going to master the rest of your life in one day. Just relax. Master the day. Then just keep doing that every day.” I immediately liked the quote and the sentiment behind it. But after a little pondering, I thought I’d re-write it, and since no one

“Perfection is no small thing, but it is made up of small things.”~Michelangelo (NOTE: – I actually think that in most instances, “perfection” is really a myth. But that’s a story for another day.)
