Not judging yourself harshly / seeing things on a realistic scale from bad to good

You can grade the risks and benefits of anything you do on a fairly detailed scale. Titling a blog in a less obscure, more specific way, probably doesn’t rank extremely low on a bad to good scale. It’s not particularly self destructive.

I should respond to my life choices in relation to that scale. I should attempt not to get upset about something that isn’t absolutely perfect (double negative) as long as it’s fairly high up on the list. In other words, I can remain peaceful if something is only a little bit out of my zone of perfection. Funny I use a word like that. I didn’t even realize I think in those terms. At Eastman we were taught to be very wary of words like perfection. Maybe it has its role in the lexicon. Maybe I do have to be wary of overusing it, even unconsciously.
