Back

In this episode, we explore the topic of personal growth and embracing imperfections. I recently had a challenging day where everything seemed to go wrong, and I didn't handle it well. I found myself getting frustrated, complaining, and whining about the situation. It made me question why these things were happening to me. However, I came to realize that none of us are perfect. We all have moments where we falter, even when we're trying our best. Making mistakes is just a part of life, regardless of whether things are going well or not. The key is not striving for perfection all the time, but rather how quickly we can bounce back and regroup. Despite feeling frustrated and annoyed, as the day went on, I realized that I wasn't feeling that way anymore. I wasn't acting in the same negative manner either. It made me realize that it's not about achieving perfection; it's about returning to the person we want to be. A few months ago, I would've let this negative state linger for days. But now, I was able to move past it within a couple of hours. It's an improvement, but I believe there's always room to grow and do better. Perhaps, that's the best part of it all - the desire to continuously improve. In this episode, we delve deeper into the idea of self-reflection and personal development. Join us as we discuss the importance of embracing imperfections and working towards becoming the best version of ourselves, even in the face of setbacks.

What is Build in Public Daily?

In this show, we share the struggles and challenges of growing and building stuff.

Cold-plunge thoughts. You ever have those days where it seems like everything's just going wrong?

That's what it was last night for me.

And then I reacted poorly to that. Got frustrated, complained, whined.

Why is this happening to me?

Ridiculous. We're not perfect. I'm not.

You're not. not even when we're trying hard

we're gonna make mistakes it's just part of

life even when we're doing things great

not everything's gonna go our way that's okay too so it's not about us being

perfect it's not about us acting perfectly all the time but it's about how quickly

do we get back back to acting the way we want to act,

to being the person that we want to be.

So yesterday for me, while I was frustrated, annoyed, and whiny,

and complaining like a little baby, by the time I went to bed,

I wasn't feeling that way anymore.

I wasn't acting that way anymore, more importantly.

So you're not going to be perfect. That's okay. Okay, but how quickly are you

going to get back to a place where you can say, this is the kind of person I want to be?

That's what matters. A few months ago, I'd be acting like a baby for a few days.

Now, it was a couple hours. That's improvement.

But I still think I can do better. And here's a cool thing. I actually want to.
