6 Lessons Learned While Overcoming Paralyzing Perfectionism
For much of my life, I wore perfectionism as a badge of honor. If asked about my biggest weakness in an interview, I would respond that “I’m a perfectionist in everything I do.” During that phase of my life, I was convinced that perfectionism was my greatest strength. Nearly two decades later, I realize that […]

We begin forming our beliefs when we are very young and rarely question whether they’re right or wrong.
