Shun a desire for perfection and embrace progress. Don't be too lax, of course, but aim for performing to the best of your ability and getting better in that which is worth your effort.
Perfectionism can feel like a relentless taskmaster, always demanding more and never satisfied. In this episode of the Stoic Solutions Podcast, host Justin Vacula takes a deep dive into the challenges of striving for flawlessness. Drawing from the ancient teachings of Stoic philosophers like Epictetus and Seneca, Justin discusses the importance of balancing conscientiousness with realistic expectations. He explores how setting sky-high standards can lead to burnout and disappointment, while a more moderate approach can foster growth and resilience.
Justin shares practical tips on how to embrace progress over perfection, navigate setbacks, and maintain a humble attitude towards personal development. Whether you're struggling with perfectionism yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights to help you find a healthier, more balanced path.
