I am not endorsing or defending that pithy saying but maybe they meant .... "What's good enough in the short term sucks in the long term" Or "What's good enough in a narrow view sucks in the big picture" Trying to think of an analogy: if I settle for just "good enough" on a day-to-day basis and don't push myself to go beyond my current skills / comfort zone regularly ... maybe I will regret not pursuing bigger things when I look back at my career 5-10 years down the line. In some senses that is exactly the kind of FOMO and perfectionism that burns out people. After being in that mode myself for almost two decades I am now consciously stopping myself -- almost daily -- from pushing myself too much. You could say I have become complacent or apathetic too.
