Good Enough To Enjoy It Is The Real Finish Line

A chaotic family card game once felt embarrassing enough to quit after one round.   Staying at the table anyway, with no goal of becoming the best, eventually turned frustration into fun.   The same pattern shows up with almost any goal, where picturing mastery feels so intimidating that people quit before starting.   Getting good enough to enjoy something matters more than mastering it.   Sticking around long enough to get decent is often the only requirement that matters.
