Perfectionism sets us up for frustration, desperation, and unhappiness.

Always seeking people's validation, exhausting our effort, so we become the best for others will get us nowhere.

Only those who are clear with their goals and have set intentions right in achieving them find success -- whatever that means to us. 

Griffin Gervais is a Mindset & Best Self Coach. He stands with powerful men as they embody their authentic selves & live a life of freedom.

In this episode, Griffin talks about how to set your intentions right so you won't be wasting time and energy on something you are not clear about. He also shares authentic masculinity and confidence, something not found in what others say but is rooted in the intention and clarity of what you are and who you want to be as a person and showing up for yourself and other people in your life.

"Whatever it is, create stillness and pause in your day, whether that's a walk, whether that's reading, whether that's breathwork, whether that's listening to your favorite song, whatever that is. Do that. Don't let time just pass you by. Live in the present moment and just pause."
