The list is pretty endless vrap - good enough parent, friend, psychologist...
I think the easiest would be 'good enough kayaker' or 'good enough mountain biker' - both are measured in my willingness to do these activities with others or on how technical/challenging the trail/conditions are. Once I have a 'good enough' bike (one with working suspension and a bottom bracket that doesn't wobble) I will be trying to go out with others and go to different trails. Kayaking-wise I need to just bloody get out - full stop!

I blogged my September, too much to post!
HP sometimes going by feel on a goal is enough, not everything requires measuring

Yes, setting actual goals for mountain biking and kayaking seems straightforward, though there's always the risk of the "good enough" goalpost moving further and further away. And I think those of us who work in areas like health and education can be prone to that, either because that's how we are or because that's what's done to us in the workplace - you work hard and hit a target, and instead of saying, "Well done, you hit the target," the powers that be say, "Oh, right, since you did that this year we expect you to do more next year."
I've worked on that this year. If I aim for something and get it, it's got and that's that. Mileage totals, WAVAs, whatever.

Right halfpint -you can stop that nonsense right now!
I direct you to your own blog of July 1st this year 'You're so brave!'. You are still that person and it's proof positive of postively proved parenting. (Too many 'p's. I think not) And the next step you mention in that blog? YOU'RE DOING IT my darling! Look over your entries on this thread, this month.
Pah! Not good enough? AS IF.

Good point Fleecio, I really like it. One reason why this isn't the one month goal thread (good as that was).

Thanks folks. I’m not in a great headspace at the moment and aware that any ‘goal’ setting could become a stick to beat myself with. Special thanks to sharkie for your encouragement.
