That's my reality. I'm such a perfectionist and I start to hate my self every time I do something wrong. And If I my boss ask me to do something I get nervous and anxious thinking " I can not fail". In my opinion, be pessimistic is close to be perfectionist because we always think the possibility of fail first. Your video is great. Thank you for spend your time doing something such meaningful like this.

I love how you share the pen and paper with us. How you circle things, underline things, emphasize things with lines, doodles, etc. Somehow it makes the learning more concrete. Maybe it speaks to my right brain. Thank you! I hope you'll do more like this one! :)

Hey there. I just wanted to tell you that I totally respect what you are doing. I think that self development has a massive power and enormous impact in our life. We came from 2 different worlds but our ideas are similar. Keep up the good work!

Thank you! That was really good. The part about "Being good" Vs "Getting better" was really eye opening - lot of food for thought here!

Thank you so much for this brilliant perspective. My distant shore is definitely morphing into a star for 2013. I've only recently discovered you and your work, Brian, and am loving it! Happy New Year to you!

This is really great! I am going to check out some of your other videos. I suffer from the need to be perfect and it has completely paralyzed me into the dreaded "comfort zone." I really need to just get better at failing and getting the most out of whatever experience comes down my path. Thanks so much! Life is about experiment and process and not about getting the golden carrot.

this information is very useful! it is motivating me to go out, not being afraid from my failure, and not feeling bad with failures in the future. i think it's a matter of perspective, and you are just helping me finding the right one, and not making a big deal out of a small failures. i am glad that I have discovered your channel and I'll be sure to check out more of your videos! (and subscribe of course ;) )

Thanks Brian - received this from my coach - very inspiring and quite helpful for seeing how the shame I've been working through is based on the fixed mindset. Feeling the power of that revelation. I am grateful for this video.
