Description
Although perfectionism is often linked with an acute sense of accomplishing tasks with meticulous accuracy, the truth is that it has more to do with fear. Fear of disappointing others, failing, making a mistake, and, of course, fear of succeeding. In today's episode, we talk about perfectionism and how sometimes, we disguise our fears and insecurities as "a seek for perfection" just to avoid facing them. We analyze how perfectionism can hold us back in our journey of becoming better leaders, husbands, and parents and what we can do to avoid falling into perfectionism's traps. We also look at perfectionism as an excuse for inaction, the pleasure of getting things done, why we shouldn't hold ourselves onto unreachable standards, and why we should avoid falling into the illusion that all details matter equally.
