Where do expectations come from? Are they real or can we change them? Life isn't perfect. We're not perfect. If all people aren't perfect, maybe we're OK as we are. Maybe working through an imperfect life as an imperfect person is exactly what life is about. We can be perfect as we are. That's pretty comforting.

• [02:09] Where do these ideas that we have to be perfect come from?

• [07:19] Life isn't perfect, neither are we. Which is perfect.

• [12:41] The perfect life is working on being our authentic selves.

• [15:16] How can there be different ideas of perfect?

• [18:08] Make Your Magic Segment!

Key Takeaways:

• Perfection is an expectation, not an absolute and not even real.

• Embracing imperfection and working through it is the substance of life.

• Be tolerant of yourself and others. We're all doing our best. Take some credit. Give some credit.
