"If I am 98% perfect in everything I do, it will be the 2% I remember when all is through."
For many people, one small mistake can overshadow dozens of successes. Instead of celebrating what went well, the mind fixates on the few imperfections.
In this episode, your host explores the concept of "Red Ink Thinking"—the tendency to focus on flaws rather than accomplishments. Through personal stories and honest reflection, he discusses how perfectionism can affect self-esteem, relationships, and personal growth, and why learning to appreciate progress instead of perfection can lead to a healthier, more balanced life.
