SLIGHTLY OFFENSIVE but do you ever get tired of trying to be "better"?

From Dorks Have More Fun blog. 

This may be one of my blog post that get thrown out there...and just hang out there - up in the sky - floating. And to be honest, I would love opinions but today I am okay with just releasing my thoughts and asking a rhetoric question.

My mood may stem from being slightly exhausted (Mike's surprise dinner, creating a book, starting a new phase in school, Taste of the Nation and life) - all this and I think that I am tired of trying to be better.

Whether you are someone that competes with others to be the best or someone that just competes with your  self to be the best you, many of us do not want to be mediocre therefore try to be "better." Better than the next person or better than you were yesterday and quite frankly I am simply feeling tired of seeing a thousand and ten ways in which I can be better. I wish I could just be. Like what would happen if tomorrow I decided I was okay just not trying - trying to be thinner, trying to create an even better pastry, or trying to be a better wife, daughter, friend, Christian ...a better woman. I can't imagine the stresses of motherhood.

 What would happen if I just gave up? 

Like I don't want to be just average in everything that I do, but it's exhausting and can be quite discouraging trying to be better all the time.

I dunno. I just wish I could be happy just being... but every time I feel like I can be happy just goofing off or adapting the attitude of "whatever"  - I get this glimmer of inspiration or this nagging dream to go to the next level. Or I get that little competitive edge and think,  "I can do that - if I pushed myself I could be better - I could reach the mountain" and then I end up being tired. Whatta cycle. I think I am going to finish my tea and crawl under the covers and sleep.
