[ROAST MY LESSON] Expanding a little on the subject on today's poll, this is a deep subject that I was talking to @Aimee Jardon in her community. Most people think that perfectionism is a positive thing. It's the cliche answer you give to the HR in a job interview when they ask you what your biggest flaw is. "Oh I loose too much time in the details, I got to make everything perfect." But beyond the cliches, this is indeed a flaw that can damage our career, our relationships and even our spiritual evolution. Not just a quircky thing you tell recruiters. A lot of people confuse perfectionism with diligence and caring. They are diferent things. The problem of perfectionists is not being able to tolerate flaws, not wanting to be perceived as flawed and being afraid of failing. And all of that is paralysing. You can spend hours and hours wanting to reach the most perfect result you can get, because you're diligent and realy care about your craft, and that's great. But if you're afraid of failure and obsessed with achieving absolute success, to the point of scraping and giving up on taking action, than that's a problem. It takes courage to suck at something, to face negative feedback, to see the flaws in our craft and learn from our mistakes, to realize we're not as good as we thought we were, but that's the only way we can grow. How many times did we ditch a great opportunity because we were afraid of being perceived as not enough? If we go deeper into philosophical / religious territory, wanting to be perfect (or even being perceived as perfect) is a fatal sin in itself. It's what caused the fall of Lucifer. The fallen angel wanted to be in the place of God, the only perfect being. The refusal of accepting our own flaws is a sickness of our ego. Being diligent is not being being afraid of flaws, being a perfectionist is. It's a sin derivated from vanity, and one that we all have to face and fight inside ourselves.

Little personal news: I'm moving to a different state. I've been living at a different state than my family for the past 4 years. Now im moving back to be closer to them for 2 reasons: - Raising a child away from family support is super hard. - We got our own apartment there, so that means no more rent. Just a small debt for a quick 30 years, it will go by fast. So I'm not giving up on this place. Just too busy trying to box everything, sell some stuff, find a painter to deliver our rented house and other moving arrangements. I'll be back to the old rhythm in a couple of weeks hopefully with better support for everything and more time to work on my projects and give all of you the roastings you're looking for.

Hey guys, I'm on a work related travel this week, thought I would be able to keep things up as usual, but actually not so much. Got too much to do with the client and the wifi from the hotel is horrible. Next week things will be back to normal with quick roasts and daily roasty themed scores. But I'm very grateful for all of you who are keeping this community alive in my absense. Here are the top 3 scores that I had to count almost by hand: 1st: @Gus Gray owner Career Skool: 68 points 2nd: @Elliott Robertson owner of The Inner Mystic and Earthlings for Peace: 64 points 3rd: @Alexandra Alexa owner of The Growth Network: 48 points And a special thanks for @Dave Hughes @Aimee Jardon @Chrissy Hogue Bartels @Nick Nebelsky @Cristal Vancarson @Matthias Schweiker also being very active here.

Hi folks, please roast my Skool group's About page. My community is focused on Character Design (for games, film, etc) & Avatar Design (AI Influencers & the like), with a bit of virtual fashion to complement the characters. The group is brand-new (launched 2 weeks ago) and my first Skool group. I want to make it the best I can for my community members, so please be brutally honest. All feedback is welcome.
