On today’s call, dropped a gem: “Don’t take yourself too serious.” Here’s the deal — perfectionism is ego.The ego says, “If I’m perfect, then I’m somebody.”But perfect isn’t even possible. Jesus taught grace. Buddha taught letting go.
Being hard on yourself won’t make you better — it just traps you in the same loop. Real confidence is being cool with your flaws while still chasing growth.
When you stop trying to look perfect, you actually get more real, more confident, and build deeper connections.
So how do you balance it?
Action List:
- Laugh at yourself — humor kills ego.
- Focus on process, not perfection — small wins stack.
- Drop negative self-talk fast — get back on the horse.
- Separate worth from results — you’re more than your current scorecard.
- Make growth the game — not being flawless, but being better.
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being real, relentless, and willing to grow.
