"Do the best you can until you know better.
Then when you know better, do better."
~ Maya Angelou
This is my absolute favorite quote from Maya Angelou. I heard Oprah Winfrey discuss it many years ago when she was upset about how she had handled a situation, finding great fault with herself. She shared that this counsel from Maya brought her through that and gave her peace.
This phrase has often helped me to put many experiences in my life into their proper perspective.
I try to do the best I can, each day, with the knowledge and experience I have at the time.
And when I learn more, either from experience or from others, then I work hard to do better.
I suspect most people are trying to do the same thing.
