Summary
It took me a decade to grasp this "philosophy," and it's not something you ever truly master...
Too often we find ourselves in a state of perfectionism, where we want everything to be perfect before we even get started - Or worse, sometimes we're extremely hard on ourselves when we mess up on the path to achieving our goals...
After having worked with thousands of clients, my mission is to help them to see that the aim is never to be perfect, but rather to make progress on a weekly basis. You don't need to be perfect in order to achieve everything you want in life!
Once you give yourself some room to breathe and accept that you'll never be perfect, you are then free to try new things and understand you will have your ups & downs, and failures & successes... But in the end you'll be happier because you'll never have the regrets of never trying at all...
It's time to start dreaming big and then making small steps each week towards those goals!
