In this episode we discuss the difference between perfection and excellence. Topics include:

  • Perfectionism. We define it and explain what it is and how it plays out in your life. We discuss how ludicrous a concept perfection is and why I believe it's a mental illness.
  • We talk about the many negative effects perfectionism has on your life.
  • Then we talk about excellence. While excellence and perfection seem to be synonymous, they are actually opposites. Excellence is everything perfectionism would like to be.
  • I explain why we should pursue excellence instead of perfection.
  • I give a very common example of how perfectionism and excellence play out in the context of a diet. This highlights why the perfectionist often fails, while those seeking excellence often succeed.
  • In this week's Call-to-Action we take a little questionnaire to see if we may have some tendencies of the perfectionist. And if we do we talk about how to shift into an excellence mindset.
  • Thanks for listening. Be sure to subscribe and leave a review and share it with someone who could benefit from this information. And be sure to follow me on Instagram @ThinkersApprentice
