Do you do your best to (DIRTFT) do it right the first time?

Or do you tell yourself: there’s always another chance to improve?

Otherwise, what’s the point… ya know? If we can’t get better, then we might as well hit reset and just say fuck it. I say we can do better… be better. We can be more.

I like this: 🤩

It’s like reminding ourselves that we can always try to do our best. But if we make mistakes, we should be able to forgive ourselves and to be brave enough to try again…

I try my best to do it right the first time, but if it doesn’t go well, and it’s important to me, I’ll try again.
@ChampagneOnIce
and it’s important to me, I’ll try again.

As with anything in life, the why - our why - is the most important determinant for doing something with meaning.

@CookieCrumbs I agree.

In my world, i seldom got a second chance,!
@samueltyler2
No, not when someone’s life is literally in your hands. Understanding that responsibility can be humbling.

@CookieCrumbs more than humbling, it was sometimes very frightening.

Do your best is the key part.
Too often when things turn out wrong it’s because we took a shortcut or skipped a step.
I used to have a sign in my office that said
“If you don’t have time to do it right when will you find time to do it over”
@GJOFJ3
🌟 WoW! That’s powerful. I’m going to copy and save that…

The way I remind myself to do things with the best I could:
“I’m going to do this right because I don’t want to have to do it again. I’m
busy with other things (such as hikes, watching tv, and other personal interests).

@CookieCrumbs thanks

I try to get it right at first. I do think practice makes perfect though

@CookieCrumbs or quantity.
@SW-User
More repetition per session or increasing repetition over time?

I do my best to do it the first time … sometimes I succeed, and sometimes I fail in doing it but I succeed in learning it … 🌹🌹
@Soossie
Well said, my friend.
The process of learning is more important than the outcome.

We do our best, but we should be accepting that we cannot always get perfection.
@CookieCrumbs

Thank you and I absolutely agree…

By the 3rd or 4th time, I just start following the instructions
@JohnnyNoir
Are you the type to read manuals before doing something?😁
JohnnyNoir · 61-69, M
@CookieCrumbs if you do that you don't wind up with all those extra parts which saves money on future projects

@CookieCrumbs I feel a natural repellent re: the manuals (like asking for directions). But I force myself to since I know it will get done quicker

I go with how I’m feeling in the moment. Do I want the crispy fried marshmallow or do I want one slightly tanned. If it’s a life or death task I overthink it, so…I don’t die.
OldBrit · 61-69, M
I've never done anything right first time in my life 😂

We claim spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection.
It's such a thing!

I shoot for right the first time, accept 80% and work on the other 20%.
romell · 51-55, M
The first shots the best shot..focus n get it
