Paralyzed by Perfection

from FOF Gym Chat · host Kenzie and Josh Presnell

Happy 2021!!!  As we start the new year, can we just let go of something?  That something is...the obsession with perfection. See, perfection is something that has plagued me for much of my life.  It has left me stuck and frustrated.  Over the years, I've slowly started to overcome my obsession, but it's definitely something I have to really pay attention to, especially as I am starting something new. Just because you don't know everything, you don't have the perfect plan, or your circumstances aren't aligning perfectly doesn't mean you can't chase your dreams.  If we wait to do something until we know we won't make any mistakes or that we will get it perfect, we are going to sit and wait for a long time. Action beats a perfect plan any day.  So often, we are terrified of what people might say, failure, or mistakes that we never take action. Join me today as I walk through how I am working to overcome my obsession with perfection. Enjoy!
