In this episode of the Easy Way Out, John Oakes takes you on a one-of-a-kind journey into the ways perfectionism is hamstringing you more that you know, and how to escape its false reality for good.
Perfectionism is controlling your life more than you even suspect. It poisons our perception of finances, career, relationships, and self, while heaping unbearable expectations on our performance.
Perfectionism keeps us striving for a constantly shifting goal line that we never seem to reach. When we DO manage to reach it, we find that its promises of love, acceptance and security were empty. This is why so many highly successful and driven people often feel most hopeless and empty just after their biggest wins.
This is why they so quickly have to dive into yet another thankless slog, to maintain a glimmer of hope that this time, the results will finally contain the love and worth and belonging we so desire.
Perfectionism never actually makes us perfect. More often than not, it acts to keep us from ever succeeding. It does this primarily by forbidding failure which is merely what your survival brain calls "learning."
If you aren't free to fail, you aren't free to learn. If you aren't free to learn, you aren''t free to grow.
Perfectionism isn't the path to your fullest potential, it is the greatest limiter to your future and potential.
