Don't say this: I don't have to give context, people will know what I mean.

There’s no such thing as perfect. In this week

There’s no such thing as perfect.
In this week’s podcast I talk about how striving for perfection sets you up for failure. Failure is in your own mind because the outside world will likely never know you weren’t perfect. I talk about how perfectionism leads to procrastination and how nobody is perfect.
I’d love to know if you push forward even if you think something isn’t “perfect”?

#ThisNotThat Getting out of vour comfort zone ca

#ThisNotThat
Getting out of vour comfort zone can get you out of a rut. Why not just try something new and see if that pushes you forward.
Don't say this: You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Say this: There is no reason I can't learn something new.
Don't say this: What if I try it and don't like it?
Say this: If I try it and don't like it I don't have to stick with it BUT at least I stepped out of my comfort zone.
Don't say this: I'm afraid to try something new.
Say this: I've had a lot of "firsts."
Some worked, some didn't but I gave it a shot.
When is the last time you tried something new?
