The Problem With Perfect

How To Review Your Decade


Listen Later

There will be "Top 10 Lists of the Decade" popping up everywhere during the next week. Instead of reading what some stranger says defined the last decade, why not do it for yourself? What did you learn about your personal development, romantic relationships, career, friendships and spirituality during the last ten years? In this episode, we discuss how time has changed us and offer you a template for doing this exercise in self-exploration. You might just be surprised at how far you've come in these five important areas of your life.

SHOW NOTES:

At 3:20, Rachel describes the template used to reflect on the key takeaway(s) in each of these core five areas of life. Then she explains how her comment,  "All I know is that the more I know, the less I know" defines what she learned about personal development during the last decade.

At 7:00, Robin discusses how she overcame her fear of failure and decided to try new things, even as she moved into her 40's.

At 11:00, Robin talks about how the heartbreaks of life have changed her and transformed her relationship with her husband. 

At 16:00, she shares how consistent love over time helped her believe she is enough.

At 17:45, Rachel shares how dating during the last decade has taught her to keep breakups and heartache in perspective.

At 20:00, she tells you how to know if the person you're dating is worth the effort.

At 22:00, Rachel shares how she had the perfect job as a high-schooler even though she didn't make a dime. This shaped her work ethic and set her on a career path that has been full of twists and surprises.

At 25:20, Robin explains how she learned that when she says "YES" to additional work responsibilities, she is saying "NO" to time she could be spending with family or friends.

At 28:00, Robin and Rachel talk about how their spiritual imperfections led them to shame and how God's love frees them.

At 32:00, Rachel talks about the painful process of letting go of high school and college friends, while Robin highlights how time changes everything.

At 37:45, the two help you take what you learn from doing this exercise to help set intentions for the decade ahead.
