Living Your Real Life

Living your real life, your true life, is not about being perfect.

Living your real life is not about trying to beat the other person.

Living your real life is about discovering your true self. It happens when you are alone.

Self-discovery does not happen when you are with other people. It happens when no one is praising you, when no one is with you.

It happens when you are alone, when you are reflecting on your failures, on your mistakes.

It happens when you are true to yourself, when you are willing to face your demons, no matter what.

It happens when you have the courage to live with yourself, when you have the courage to face yourself, when you have the courage to say, ‘No matter what is going on in my life, I will never give up.’

You can say it. To say it really well, you have got to have the courage to live your real life.

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.
