Reflecting on childhood favorites can provide new insights for adults, as illustrated by the author's experience re-watching Mary Poppins with her children. The movie's messages resonate differently through the lens of adulthood and parenthood, emphasizing valuable life lessons. Notably, the phrase 'good enough is as good as appeased' serves as a reminder to cast aside perfectionism, allowing for more efficient completion of tasks without overwhelming pressure. This leads to a healthier, more balanced approach to parenting and personal life.
"Good enough is as good as appeased." I love this phrase because it helps me let go of perfectionism. In my case, perfectionism not only makes a job take longer, but it also keeps me from starting it in the first place...Mary Poppins reminded me that good enough is, well, good enough.
Reflecting on past things with a new perspective is an eye-opening and enriching experience. Re-watching the 1964 Mary Poppins movie with my children helped me rediscover invaluable life lessons.
