Boy do I get triggered when people say I'm a perfectionist I get triggered and it's funny, not anger, deep empathy I'm like wow, you're deeply scared and you've manipulated yourself and others to hide that. You're scared. Fear and hate. Fear Man, that's like the Perfection thing.

It's not about being a perfectionist. you're afraid to fail 100 and it's a cute version. You don't have the humility to admit that you're scared. So you created this real pretty package called perfection.

    Because of the economic crisis that always comes up the best thing to be on every wise individual’s mind or list is to invest in different streams of income that’s not depending on the government to generate funds.

    I dont know why Im still suprised by these on point statements that resonate perfectly with my own learnings and experiences. Theres a reason I follow gary and no other in his area, his views are at times literally just better versions of the things I tell my mentees or colleague's about the take aways from being a fixer in a variety of industries. It resonates with most areas, whether NGOs, corporate or small business…

    Stfu Gary, people have been hurt by religion and have been lied to since childhood that they were born sinners, and their need for righteousness always needs to be improving. Of course they’re gonna have insecurities, and of course it’s fear. Of course they’re afraid to fail, if that means a fiery bell or annihilation or suffering. Gary, you have no empathy.
