Скачать или смотреть Progress Over Perfection

Can I be real with you for a second?

I’ve been HARDCORE resisting showing up on YouTube. Why so?

Because I struggle with perfectionism at times. Perfectionism is very good at coming up with convincing arguments that cause me to avoid jumping into something new (even fun things, like this whole YouTube thing) because I'm afraid of possible failure or looking foolish.

It says, "Don't jump into new things because "new" feels uncomfortable and is often messy."

It argues, "Don't take on that thing because you don't know how things will turn out."

It points out, "You may not be good at that...you may even suck at that. So, don't put yourself through that pain."

Sound familiar, Friend?

Hmmm...well, perfectionism makes some valid arguments. But, I've decided to say, "Screw perfectionism!!!"

One big lesson I’ve learned in life is this: PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION is the way to go.

Perfectionism is a life-sucker. It robs us of joy, peace, and creative freedom. It beats us down and doesn’t allow for mistakes. It leads us toward procrastination and inaction and halts our dreams.

Take it from this “Recovering Perfectionist Aspiring Good Enough” - life’s way more enjoyable when we kick the pursuit of perfection to the curb.

If you’re one who is inclined to strive after ideals or often feels like “nothing’s ever good enough”…

I encourage you to give this video a listen.

IN THIS VIDEO, I DISCUSS:

1) Why “progress over perfection” is the way to go
2) The many ways perfectionism robs us in life
3) Personal examples of how perfectionism has caused me to miss out on things and stalled me from taking the “next right step”
4) How letting things be “messy” and giving permission to fail brings freedom

In this video, I also include a BIG DISCLAIMER about my Unmasked YouTube channel (personal confession and vulnerability alert!)
