Ep. 159 - Life is Good and Bad
Manage episode 435023089 series 2929387
People are often taught to see the world in black and white, categorizing things as either good or bad. There are good guys and bad guys, and the goal is to eliminate the bad so that only the good remains. However, this binary thinking can lead to unrealistic expectations and an intolerance for anything less than perfection from yourself or others, ultimately making you miserable.
In this episode, Jeff and Doreen discuss the pitfalls of perfectionism and how it can negatively impact your relationships and personal well-being. They explore the importance of embracing imperfection and adopting a more compassionate and realistic mindset. By accepting that everyone has flaws and that not everything can be categorized so simply, you can foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships and a more contented life.
