This is the story of how I killed my comfort zones, moved out of home and lived with complete strangers. It's about finding balance. People always ask me how I do so much with so little and keep it all together. This podcast/blog was my way of saying: "I don't know". I'm sure people will find this interesting and may even learn something from it. What makes this podcast different from others on the subject?
I don't claim to be a professional writer or speaker but I tried very hard to make you feel like you are right there with me as I travel, write and build my life. How do we learn to bend ourselves toward progress? -- not perfection. We have to keep changing, keep growing and improving on what we have accomplished. The most comfortable part of me is my past, but it's no longer my past. It's my bedrock that I use to build future initiatives. It gives me courage, strength and power. One of the biggest challenges in our everyday lives is trying to live a better life. We all want to be as successful and happy as possible, but we're just not sure how to do it. This podcast/blog will show you how these principles can change your life for the better by surrounding yourself with people who truly care about helping you reach your goals.
Section 1: Perfection is the enemy of progress. The idea that perfection is the enemy of progress is one of the most common objections to the use of scientific methods. The idea is that if we can't be perfect, then we can't make any progress at all.This objection seems to me quite wrong. The problem with perfectionism is not that it produces no results but rather that it produces the wrong results. Perfectionism means working too hard and trying too hard, which is a waste of time and energy in itself. But more important than this, it leads to an attitude in which you're afraid of making mistakes or doing anything new because you don't want to look bad or embarrass yourself. In other words, you end up being stubborn, and stubborn people don't get very far in life. They may think they're successful because their work looks good on paper or because they got their work published somewhere or won some award or prize at some point in their lives, but this doesn't mean they're actually successful.
Section 2:Progress not perfection is simply a part of success. There is a common misconception that perfectionism is associated with high levels of performance. This is not the case. Being overly concerned with the details and making sure everything is perfect can be detrimental in terms of productivity and efficiency. When we think of success, we often think about achieving a goal and hitting it dead center. The problem with this mindset is that it's too close to perfectionism and can lead to burnout. When you're striving for perfection, you think about every detail and every step. You become obsessed with the details and lose sight of the overall picture. You get stressed out because you don't feel like you're making progress towards your goal. And then things start to go off track because you've stopped paying attention to the big picture you've lost sight of what really matters, which is getting closer to that goal line instead of obsessing over every little thing along the way. When you get obsessed with perfectionism, you can never relax enough to make progress towards your goals. You'll always be thinking about how far away from perfection you are (or how close), making sure that no mistakes were made along the way, and worrying about whether or not this next step will get us any closer than before. This kind of thinking feels like a constant grind one that never ends and it's exhausting!
Section 3: We have so much to gain by replacing our perfection with progress. Progress is the only thing that matters. The world is moving forward, and we need to move with it. Progress is what you want in your life. It's what makes you happy, and it's what allows you to feel fulfilled...
