Mitchell then pondered how to balance teaching grace and striving for excellence. He personally values excellence but acknowledges it's not the most important thing. He wonders how to raise his daughters to feel acceptance and strive for success without being perfectionists. He believes it's possible based on research on life satisfaction and grit. It's about finding harmony between ambition and happiness.
