What I learned treating my life like a rough draft

You tell yourself you're a perfectionist failure when things aren't right the first time, believe you should have it all figured out by now, and think successful people just get it right immediately - but nobody achieves perfection on the first try.Life isn't a final draft. It's a series of revisions, just like an author rewriting their manuscript.Josh and Jon explore why we expect our "first version" to be our best version, how your brain is constantly rewriting itself through neuroplasticity (so why aren't you?), and why the pressure to be "decisive, confident, and certain" keeps you stuck in patterns that don't serve you anymore.If you've ever given up because something wasn't perfect the first time, or feel trapped by who you're "supposed to be," this episode will show you why revision isn't failure - it's exactly how growth works.SKIP AHEAD:(01:00) "Have you ever achieved perfection on the first try?"
