What Is Life About?

What is life? What is it about? Is it about you? Is it about what you have? Is it about what you do?

It is about being there for yourself. Life is about taking care of yourself. It is not about Ignoring other people.

According to Tom Oliver, ‘Life is not about being the best in everything and trying to please everyone. It’s about pleasing yourself first. … When you do that, you’re in the best position to help others and make your biggest and best contribution to society, humanity, and this planet.’

Do not even try to please everyone. It is not going to work. Instead of trying to make everyone happy, why not please yourself first. Remember who you are.

In the words of Dr. Grace Lordan, ‘Never trade authenticity for approval.’ Why? Because you are good enough for yourself.

Are You Suffering From Perfectionism?

Life is not perfect. No one is perfect. If you are suffering from perfectionism, you are not alone.

If perfectionism is holding you back, if you are stuck, you can set yourself free. You can get your life back.

According to Tom Oliver, ‘If you are suffering from perfectionism, try to adopt the attitude that life is a rehearsal- all the time. Once you free yourself up to make mistakes, you will instantly improve and will have much more fun doing it. Then your productivity will soar because your perfectionism will no longer block you from living your energy and actually doing the work.’

You are not getting things done because you want everything to be perfect. You want to get everything perfect before you sent it out. You don’t want anyone to see your work. You are hiding things because you think they are not good enough.

You can hide things all you like. If you want to improve your life, you must embrace mistakes. If you don’t want to make mistakes, you are not going anywhere.

According to Tom, ‘Only doing the work will make you any better.’ If you want to get better, you must let go of perfectionism.
